Understanding Ideal Weight & BMI
📏 What is Ideal Weight?
Ideal weight is the optimal weight range for your height, age, and body composition that promotes the best health outcomes and reduces disease risk.
🧮 BMI Explained
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool that uses height and weight to categorize individuals into weight status categories.
⚖️ Multiple Formulas
Different scientific formulas (Robinson, Miller, Devine, Hamwi) provide various perspectives on ideal weight calculation.
🎯 BMI Categories & Health Implications
BMI Ranges:
- Underweight: Below 18.5
- Normal: 18.5 – 24.9

- Obese: 30.0 and above
Health Considerations:
