12 stone is a weight I hear referenced often in clinical conversations. Many patients ask whether 12 stone is a problem, and the honest answer is that it depends. For a 5ft 5in woman, 12 stone sits solidly in the overweight category with a BMI around 27.9. For a 6ft man, the same weight gives a BMI of 23, which is healthy. This is why I always look at height alongside weight before having any weight-related conversation with a patient.
