Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ideal body weight calculator?▾
An ideal body weight calculator estimates the healthiest weight for your height and gender using established medical formulas like Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi.
Which ideal weight formula is the most accurate?▾
No single formula is universally best. The Devine formula is the most widely used in clinical settings, but comparing all four gives a reliable range. Individual factors like muscle mass and body composition also matter.
Why do different formulas give different results?▾
Each formula was developed by different researchers using different population samples. The variation gives you a healthy weight range rather than a single number.
Do these formulas work for heights under 5 feet?▾
These formulas were designed for adults 5 feet (60 inches) and taller. For shorter individuals, the base weight value is returned, but consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Is this ideal weight calculator a substitute for medical advice?▾
No. This tool is for informational purposes only. Ideal weight depends on many factors including muscle mass, bone density, and overall health. Always consult a healthcare professional.
