FAQ
Which formula is used?
The Devine formula (1974), widely used in medicine for dosing and reference. The result box also shows the BMI-based healthy weight range for context.
Is a single "ideal" weight realistic?
No — healthy weight is a range that depends on build, muscle, and body composition. Treat the number as a rough midpoint of the healthy range.
Does it account for muscle?
No. Very muscular people can be healthy above these figures, since the formulas use only height and sex.
