Frequently asked questions

Why do the formulas give different results?
Each formula was derived from different populations and assumptions, so slight variation between them is normal and expected.
Which formula is most accurate?
None is definitively 'correct' — they're all estimates, best used together as a general reference range.
Does this account for muscle mass?
No, these formulas are based on height and sex only and don't reflect body composition.
