Ideal weight calculation
There is no single universal ideal weight. We give you 3 estimates based on recognized formulas, plus an average. See where you feel your best.

Start nowThe 3 formulas explained
Devine Formula (1974): the simplest and most common in medical settings. It only takes height and gender into account.
Lorentz Formula (1929): older but still used. It distinguishes between men and women with a specific calculation for each.
Creff Formula: the most complete because it integrates age and body type (wrist circumference). It generally gives the most realistic result for people over 40.
Pourquoi les résultats sont différents ?
Each formula uses different variables. Devine and Lorentz ignore age and body type — they are less precise for people outside the "norm." Creff is more nuanced but requires more data.
The average of the 3 formulas gives you a realistic range. If your 3 results are close, you have a reliable estimate. If they diverge a lot, your body type is atypical, and it should be interpreted with caution.
Le poids idéal n'est qu'un repère
These formulas don't know your muscle mass, your actual health, or your well-being. An athlete will naturally be above their calculated "ideal weight."
True ideal weight is where you feel good, sleep well, have energy, and your blood tests are good. Use these numbers as a guide, not an absolute goal.
