Why are multiple ideal weight results shown?

The Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas use different coefficients and data sources. Since no single formula is definitively correct, comparing them provides a more balanced view.

Is the formula average my target weight?

No. The average only summarizes four estimates for comparison. Body frame, muscle mass, age, and health status should also be considered when setting a personal goal.

How is the healthy BMI weight range calculated?

The square of height in meters is multiplied by the adult BMI boundaries of 18.5 and 24.9. This range is also a general screening indicator and does not measure body composition.

Is this calculator suitable for children or pregnant people?

No. The tool provides general estimates for adults. Children, teenagers, pregnant people, and anyone with specific health conditions need a professional assessment.

Does the result replace medical advice?

No. The result is an informational estimate only; consult a doctor or dietitian for personal weight or health goals.
