Is ideal body weight the same for everyone of the same height?
No, ideal body weight can vary between individuals even if they are the same height.
Factors like muscle mass, bone structure, body composition, and personal health history all play a role.
Use ideal body weight ranges as a helpful guide, but remember that true health and fitness are highly individual.
What is the value of estimating Ideal Body Weight?
Ideal Body Weight estimates help set reasonable, healthy weight targets based on height and gender.
While “ideal” weight can vary depending on muscle mass, genetics, and body type, having a benchmark can guide fitness, weight loss, or health management goals.
Where do the Ideal Weight recommendations come from?
The most common Ideal Body Weight formulas, like the Devine formula, were developed in the 1970s for medical dosing purposes but are now used widely to estimate healthy weights.
They are based on height and gender and provide a general range — not an exact number for everyone.
