Frequently Asked Questions
Which ideal weight formula is most accurate?
No single formula is perfectly accurate. The Devine formula is most commonly used. For best results, use the calculator and adjust based on your frame size and body composition.
Can I be healthy outside the ideal range?
Yes, many people are healthy at weights outside traditional ranges. Metabolic health markers (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol) matter more than fitting a specific weight range.
How much should weight change with age?
Slight weight increases with age are normal due to metabolic changes. However, maintaining a stable, healthy weight through diet and exercise is beneficial at any age.
