Terms

Terms of Use

Plain terms for a plain-language site. No wall of legalese.

Educational information, not medical advice

Everything on VitalDecades, including the Guideline Tracker, screening pages, lifestyle-lever pages, condition pages, and claim checks, is educational information about what current official guidelines and published evidence say. None of it is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation for you personally. Using this site does not create a clinician-patient relationship between you and VitalDecades or its editor. Decisions about your health, including screenings, medications, and the management of any condition, belong with a licensed clinician who knows your history. If this is an emergency, call 911.

Accuracy

We cite every clinical claim to its primary source and describe how in the methodology page, but guidelines, screening ages, and evidence can change after we last verified a page. Check the linked primary source before you rely on anything for a real decision, and use the contact form if you find something out of date.

Citing our data and pages

You are welcome to quote, cite, or link to any page on VitalDecades, including rows from the Guideline Tracker, for journalism, research, or your own writing. Attribution back to VitalDecades with a link to the specific page you are citing is all we ask. We do not license this content for resale or for republication as your own work without attribution.

No warranty

This site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. We work to keep every page current and accurate, but we make no guarantee that any claim, grade, or date is free of error or has not changed since it was last verified. Use of this site is at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

VitalDecades and its editor are not liable for any decision made or harm arising from reliance on information found on this site. This is a reference for understanding what guidelines and evidence say, not a substitute for professional medical judgment applied to your specific situation.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site changes. The version in effect is the one posted on this page at the time you use the site.
