What is the formula for calculating ideal body weight?
We average four evidence-based formulas widely used in 21st-century clinical nutrition and pharmacology. Where a formula provides separate constants for women and men we apply the appropriate version.
- Devine (1974) – 50 + 2.3×(in − 60) = 50 + 2.3×(78.7 − 60) = 93.1 kg
- Robinson (1983) – 52 + 1.9×(in − 60) = 52 + 1.9×(78.7 − 60) = 87.6 kg
- Miller (1983) – 56.2 + 1.41×(in − 60) = 56.2 + 1.41×(78.7 − 60) = 82.6 kg
- BMI-22 target – 22 × H² /10 000 = 22 ×(2.00)² = 88.0 kg
- Average = (93.1 + 87.6 + 82.6 + 88.0) / 4 = 87.8 kg
In these formulas in means your height in inches: 200 cm ÷ 2.54 = 78.7 in
