Disclaimer
Last Updated: September 20, 2026
The information and tools available on Poshan Calculator are provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
By using this website, you understand and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.
1. Informational and Educational Purpose
Poshan Calculator provides online tools and educational information related to child growth, nutrition, and growth assessment.
The calculator may use measurements such as a child’s age, height, weight, and other inputs to provide general growth-related results.
These results are intended to help users better understand growth measurements and should not be treated as a medical diagnosis.
2. Not a Substitute for Medical Advice
The information and results provided by Poshan Calculator are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Every child is different, and a calculator result alone cannot determine a child’s complete health or nutritional condition.
If you are concerned about a child’s growth, nutrition, development, weight, height, or general health, consult a qualified healthcare professional such as a pediatrician, doctor, dietitian, or other appropriately trained health professional.
Do not delay seeking professional medical care because of information or results obtained from this website.
3. About WHO Child Growth Standards
Where applicable, Poshan Calculator uses or refers to the WHO Child Growth Standards for growth assessment.
The World Health Organization provides standardized growth indicators including length/height-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-length/height, and BMI-for-age. WHO explains that these standards are used to monitor and assess the growth and nutritional status of young children.
Use of WHO Child Growth Standards on this website does not mean that the website is operated, sponsored, endorsed, or approved by the World Health Organization unless explicitly stated.
4. Accuracy of Calculator Results
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and correctly functioning tools, but we do not guarantee that every calculator result will always be complete, accurate, or suitable for a particular child or situation.
The accuracy of a result depends partly on the information entered by the user. Incorrect age, height, weight, MUAC, or other measurements may lead to an incorrect result.
For accurate growth assessment, measurements should be taken correctly and interpreted appropriately. WHO’s growth assessment guidance emphasizes accurate measurement and interpretation of growth indicators.
5. No Medical Diagnosis
Poshan Calculator should not be used to diagnose:
- Malnutrition
- Stunting
- Wasting
- Underweight
- Overweight
- Any disease or medical condition
A result indicating a possible growth or nutritional concern does not by itself confirm a medical condition.
Professional assessment may be required to understand the cause and determine appropriate care.
6. Use of Growth Indicators
Different growth indicators describe different aspects of child growth.
For example, WHO includes height-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-height, and BMI-for-age among its child growth standards. These indicators should be interpreted according to the child’s age, sex, measurement method, and the applicable growth standard.
Do not make health or dietary decisions for a child based only on a single calculator result.
7. Third-Party Information and Links
Our website may contain links to external websites, organizations, publications, or resources.
These links may be provided for additional information or reference. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or practices of third-party websites.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Poshan Calculator and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers are not responsible for any loss, harm, or damage resulting from reliance on information, calculations, or other content available through this website.
Users are responsible for deciding when professional medical advice is necessary.
