What is My Ideal Weight?

"Ideal weight" is a range that identifies a weight associated with the lowest health risks based on height and gender. There is no single "perfect" number, which is why medical professionals use multiple formulas to provide a healthy spectrum.

Medical Formulas Explained

  • Robinson Formula: Developed in 1983 to provide a more accurate estimation for the general population.
  • Devine Formula: The standard used in clinical settings for drug dosage calculations since 1974.
  • Miller Formula: Created in 1983 as a variation of the Robinson formula, often resulting in slightly different results for taller individuals.
  • Hamwi Formula: One of the oldest methods (1964), still used for quick nutritional screenings.
