Is ideal weight the same for everyone?
No. While formulas provide a baseline, factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition play a huge role. An athlete may weigh more than their 'ideal' but be extremely healthy.
What is the healthy range?
Most medical professionals suggest a range of +/- 10% around the calculated ideal weight is healthy for most adults.
Should I use this for children?
No. Children and adolescents should use specialized growth charts and BMI-for-age calculators, as their bodies are still developing.
