Frequently asked questions
What is ideal body weight used for?
It's a rough reference used in some medication dosing and clinical estimates. Real healthy weight varies by build, muscle and body composition.
Should I aim for this exact number?
Not necessarily — it's a formula-based estimate, not a personal goal. Discuss a healthy weight range with your doctor.
