This is part of a small family of pound values that convert to exact whole-stone figures: 14 lbs (1 st), 28 lbs (2 st), 42 lbs (3 st), 56 lbs (4 st), 70 lbs (5 st), 84 lbs (6 st), 98 lbs (7 st), 112 lbs (8 st), 126 lbs (9 st), 140 lbs (10 st), 154 lbs (11 st), 168 lbs (12 st), 182 lbs (13 st), 196 lbs (14 st).

In clinical practice, 168 pounds at 5ft 10in gives a BMI of 24.0 - a healthy, unremarkable result for a man of average height. At 5ft 6in the same weight gives 27.0, which is overweight. I see 12 stone used regularly as a psychological reference point, particularly by men. It often comes up as 'the weight I need to get back to' or 'the weight where I feel good.' The clinical significance depends entirely on the person's height - the number alone carries less meaning than people sometimes expect.
