About IBW

What is IBW?

Ideal Body Weight (IBW) is an estimate of a healthy weight based on height, gender, and age. It provides a range of weight that is considered healthy for an individual. Note that IBW is not a perfect measurement. It does not consider the percentages of body fat and muscle in a person's body. This means that it is possible for highly fit, healthy athletes to be considered overweight based on their IBW.

IBW Range:

  • A range of ± 1.5 - 2 kg around the ideal weight is considered a healthy weight.
