Formula
The calculator uses the following formulas to determine health metrics:
Water Intake: (Weight in lbs × 0.67) + (Activity Level × 12) + (Climate Sensitivity × 8)
UV Protection: UV Index × (1 + (Elevation/1000)) × Skin Type Factor
Heat Stress: (Temperature - 80) × (Humidity/100) × (1 + (Age/30))
All calculations are based on average conditions for El Paso, Texas (elevation: 3,352 ft, average summer temperature: 90°F, average humidity: 30%).
Example Calculation
For a 35-year-old female weighing 150 lbs, moderately active, and sensitive to climate:
- Water Intake: (150 × 0.67) + (2 × 12) + (3 × 8) = 100.5 + 24 + 24 = 148.5 oz/day
- UV Protection: 6 × (1 + (3.352/1000)) × 1.5 = 6 × 1.0033 × 1.5 ≈ 9.02 UV Protection Units
- Heat Stress: (90 - 80) × (30/100) × (1 + (35/30)) = 10 × 0.3 × 2.14 ≈ 6.42 Heat Stress Units
This example shows the calculator's ability to provide tailored health recommendations based on individual factors and local conditions.
