Body Shape CalculatorBody Shape Calculator publishes facts only after checking them against a primary source, such as a research paper, a university release or a World Health Organization report.
How Are Facts Checked?
Facts are checked against the primary source whenever it is available. A value repeated by other websites is not accepted until the original source confirms it. Facts available only from secondary sources, such as the Kibbe type counts, are labeled as such on the page.
How Are the Site's Own Rules Labeled?
The site's own rules are labeled on every page where they appear. The apple rule (waist equal to or larger than bust and hips), the male body shape rules and the quiz rules are this site's own, because no research standard exists for them.
How Often Are Pages Updated?
Pages are reviewed at least every 6 months, and corrections are made as soon as an error is confirmed. Send corrections through the contact page.
Is Body Shape Calculator Medical Advice?
Body Shape Calculator is not medical advice. Body shape results describe proportion only, and waist-to-hip ratio results are information to discuss with a doctor.
