تحويل الستون إلى الأونصة: الصحة واللياقة البدنية وإدارة الوزن

One stone equals exactly 224 ounces. This is because 1 stone = 14 pounds, and each pound contains 16 avoirdupois ounces, so 14 × 16 = 224 ounces. This relationship was formally standardized internationally in 1959. To convert any stone weight to ounces, simply multiply the number of stones by 224. For example, 5 stone = 5 × 224 = 1,120 ounces.

The stone persists in UK healthcare due to historical tradition and public familiarity. Patients understand and relate to their weight in stones, making communication about health more intuitive. The NHS maintains stones in patient records for continuity with decades of historical health data. However, modern electronic health systems increasingly record weight in both stones and kilograms. International medical guidelines and research databases use kilograms, requiring healthcare professionals to convert between units for international collaboration and evidence-based medicine.
