Frequently asked questions

What formula does this use?

Robinson formula: men 52 kg + 1.9 kg per inch over 5 ft; women 49 kg + 1.7 kg per inch over 5 ft. We also show a ±10% band around that point estimate.

Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?

Not always. Frame size, muscle, age, and medical conditions matter. BMI and clinical assessment give more context.

Is this medical advice?

No. Educational estimate only. Ask a clinician for personalised weight targets.
