How it works

Reports four published ideal-body-weight formulas — Devine (1974), Robinson (1983), Miller (1983) and Hamwi (1964) — each adding a per-inch amount above 5 ft (60 in), differing by sex.

Assumptions & limits

  • Population formulas, originally for medication dosing; they do not account for build or muscle.
  • For general fitness and education only — not a medical or diagnostic tool.
