Our ideal
weight range charts are based on body mass index, modified to take into
account whether you are male or female.
Body mass
index is used to determine whether an individual, male or female, falls
into a broad band considered to be healthy weight, or is outside the
parameters and, if so, to what extent. BMI is used by scientist and
researchers to determine the health implications of being a certain BMI.
