What Is Ideal Weight?

Ideal body weight formulas estimate a healthy target weight based on height and gender. Results are guidelines, not absolute targets.

Formula

Devine: Men: 50kg + 2.3kg per inch over 5' Women: 45.5kg + 2.3kg per inch over 5'

Example

A 5'10" male has an ideal weight of about 166 lbs (Devine), 163 lbs (Robinson), 157 lbs (Miller), 172 lbs (Hamwi).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ideal weight formula is best?

No single formula is 'best.' The Devine formula is most widely used in medicine. Consider the range across all formulas.

Should I aim for my ideal weight?

These are estimates. A healthy weight also depends on muscle mass, body frame, and overall health markers.
