BMI uses height-weight ratio, Hamwi considers frame size and gender, while Robinson adjusts for body composition differences across demographics.
Which formula is most accurate for determining ideal weight?
No single formula is perfect. Using all three provides a comprehensive range that accounts for individual variations and body types.
Should I aim for the middle of my calculated weight range?
