Formula used

The formula used to calculate ideal weight is based on established anthropometric standards:

Ideal Weight (kg) = (Height (cm) - 100 + Age (years) / 10) × 0.9

This formula provides a general estimate of ideal weight based on height and age. The result gives you a range that is considered healthy for your height and age.

Height: Taller individuals generally have higher ideal weights
Age: Younger individuals may have different body composition than older adults
Gender: Some formulas adjust for gender differences
Muscle mass: Athletes may weigh more than the ideal weight
Body fat percentage: Higher body fat can increase weight

Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice about your weight and health.
