Devine Formula for Ideal Body Weight
Transparent mathematical methodology explained in plain English.
Men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft | Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft Widely used in medical pharmacology to establish baseline clinical weight standards.
Variables Explained:
- 5 ft base: Base height of 60 inches.
Real Project Example
Male 5 ft 10 in (10 inches over 5 ft)
Applying Devine formula.
Sample Project Inputs:
Gender: Male
Height: 5 ft 10 in (70 in)
Step-by-Step Calculation:
- Inches over 5 ft: 10 inches.
- Additional weight: 10 × 2.3 kg = 23 kg.
- Total ideal weight: 50 kg + 23 kg = 73 kg (approx. 161 lbs).
Calculated Answer: Ideal weight is approximately 161 lbs (73 kg).
