Medical Review Policy:

Last updated: [01-OCT-2026]

Why we review our content:

BMI Advisor publishes information about Body Mass Index, healthy weight ranges, and related health topics. Because this is health-related content, we believe it should be checked for accuracy by a qualified medical professional before it’s published , not just written and posted.

This page explains how that review process works.

Who reviews our content:

Content on this Site that makes a clinical or health-related claim including BMI category definitions, healthy weight ranges, limitations of BMI, and guidance for specific groups (such as older adults, athletes, or children) is reviewed by:

What our review process checks:

When our reviewer evaluates a page, they check that it:

  • Accurately reflects current, generally accepted medical and clinical guidance (such as WHO and CDC standards for BMI categories).
  • Clearly states the limitations of BMI as a screening tool, where relevant.
  • Doesn’t present general information as personalized medical advice.
  • Is free of factual errors or outdated claims.
  • Appropriately flags when a topic warrants consulting a healthcare provider.

Our reviewer checks the accuracy and clinical appropriateness of the content. They do not write marketing copy, optimize for search engines, or make editorial decisions about site structure , those are handled by our content team, with their sign-off required before anything health-related goes live.

What review does not mean:

Medical review means our reviewer has checked that the general information on a page is accurate and consistent with current guidance. It does not mean:

  • They have evaluated your individual health or circumstances
  • A doctor-patient relationship exists between you and our reviewer
  • The content is a substitute for personalized medical advice

See our Medical Disclaimer for more on this distinction.

How often we review content:

  • New content is reviewed before first publication.
  • Existing content is re-reviewed on a regular basis every 6 months to confirm it still reflects current guidance, and sooner if relevant clinical guidelines change.
  • Each reviewed page displays the date of its most recent review so you can see how current it is.

Our content and editorial standards:

Beyond medical review, we aim for every page on this Site to:

  • Cite credible sources (such as WHO, CDC, NIH, and peer-reviewed research) where relevant.
  • Be written in plain, accessible language rather than unnecessary jargon.
  • Be corrected promptly if an error is identified.
