This Ideal Body Weight Calculator was created using the Devine Formula. It calculates an ‘ideal body weight’ using historical insurance data showing the mortality rates for different height/weight combinations. The ‘Ideal Body Weight’ is the weight that has the lowest mortality level for someone of your height and gender.
While the Ideal Body Weight calculator can give you an overall picture of your physical health, it shouldn’t be used in isolation. Be sure to also look at metrics like Body Mass Index and Body Fat Percentage. An at-home Smart Scale can be a great investment in tracking your health.
Take Control of Your Health with a Smart Scale
Unlike a traditional analog scale that only measures weight, Smart Scales can track a host of metrics: body composition (e.g., percentage of bone, fat, muscle, etc), heart rate, and more. Many connect to a smart phone app allowing for easy tracking of health progress. They also may be eligible for reimbursement from your FSA/HSA account.
