Frequently Asked Questions
Which formula is the most accurate?
No single formula is universally best. The Devine formula is most widely used in clinical settings. Using the average of all four gives a reasonable range. Body composition, age, and fitness level also matter.
Do these formulas work for all heights?
These formulas are designed for adults 5 feet (152 cm) and taller. They may not be accurate for very short or very tall individuals.
Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?
Not exactly. Ideal weight formulas give rough estimates. A healthy weight depends on many factors including muscle mass, bone density, age, and overall health. BMI and body fat percentage provide additional context.
