Health Aspire publishes plain-English health guides and free calculators for people over 40. This page explains what that information is, and what it is not. Please read it before you rely on anything on this site.
Information, not medical advice
Everything on health-aspire.com, including articles, calculators, charts, emails and social media posts, is for general educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace a consultation, diagnosis or treatment from a qualified health professional who knows your history.
- Always talk to your doctor or another qualified clinician before you start, stop or change any medicine, diet, supplement or exercise program.
- Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.
- If you think you may have a medical emergency, such as chest pain, sudden weakness, trouble speaking or severe shortness of breath, call your local emergency number (911 in the US, 112 in the EU) immediately.
About our calculators
Our calculators, including the heart attack risk calculator, metabolic age calculator, waist-to-height ratio calculator and protein calculator, use published equations and guidelines, such as the American Heart Association PREVENT equations. They give estimates for adults in general, not a diagnosis for you.
- Results depend on the numbers you enter. Use recent measurements from a doctor or lab where possible.
- An estimate can be wrong for an individual, especially if you have a condition the equation does not account for.
- Share your results with your doctor. They can interpret them alongside your full history, examination and tests.
- Your answers are processed in your browser and are not sent to us.
Who writes Health Aspire
Health Aspire is an independent site founded by Georgi Pavlov. Our team is not a medical practice, and our writers are not your doctors. We research each guide from systematic reviews, large human studies and official guidelines, and we link our sources so you can check them. When a qualified health professional reviews a guide, we show their name and credentials on that page. You can read more in our editorial standards.
Accuracy and updates
Medical knowledge changes. We work to keep our guides accurate and up to date, and each guide shows when it was last reviewed, but we cannot guarantee that every page reflects the very latest research at all times. If you spot an error, please email hello@health-aspire.com and we will review it promptly.
Affiliate links and products
Some pages contain affiliate links, clearly labeled as such. If you buy through one, Health Aspire may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we believe are consistent with the evidence, but a recommendation is not a guarantee of results, and no product replaces care from your doctor. See our affiliate disclosure.
Links to other websites
We link to outside sources such as medical journals, government agencies and hospitals. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Health Aspire and its founder are not liable for any loss or harm arising from the use of, or reliance on, information or tools on this site. Use of the site is at your own risk. Please also read our terms of use.
