FAQ
Which ideal weight formula is most accurate?
No single formula is universally most accurate. The Devine formula is most commonly used in clinical settings. Using all four provides a healthy weight range that accounts for individual variation.
How does frame size affect ideal weight?
A larger frame supports more muscle and bone mass. Small frames are adjusted down 10% and large frames up 10% from the baseline formula results.
Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?
Ideal weight formulas provide guidelines, not strict targets. Healthy weight depends on many factors including muscle mass, bone density, age, and overall health.
