What is the Devine formula?
The Devine formula is one of the most widely used methods to calculate ideal body weight. It was developed in 1974 for medication dosing purposes. For men: 50kg + 2.3kg per inch over 5 feet. For women: 45.5kg + 2.3kg per inch over 5 feet. This calculator provides a range of ±10% around the calculated ideal weight.
Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?
Ideal weight and healthy weight are related but not identical. Ideal weight is calculated using formulas like Devine's, while healthy weight is typically defined by a BMI range of 18.5-24.9. Both consider height but ideal weight formulas also account for gender. Individual factors like muscle mass, bone density, and body composition also matter.
Does this calculator account for muscle mass?
No, this calculator does not specifically account for muscle mass. Athletes and people with high muscle mass may have a higher BMI but still be healthy. For a more complete picture, consider using body fat percentage measurements along with ideal weight calculations.
