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×(85.8 − 60) = 109.4 kg
  • Robinson (1983) – 52 + 1.9×(in − 60) = 52 + 1.9×(85.8 − 60) = 101.1 kg
  • Miller (1983) – 56.2 + 1.41×(in − 60) = 56.2 + 1.41×(85.8 − 60) = 92.6 kg
  • BMI-22 target – 22 × H² /10 000 = 22 ×(2.18)² = 104.6 kg
  • Average = (109.4 + 101.1 + 92.6 + 104.6) / 4 = 101.9 kg

In these formulas in means your height in inches: 218 cm ÷ 2.54 = 85.8 in
