About These Formulas

Devine (1974) was originally developed for pharmacology to calculate drug doses. It's the oldest and most widely cited formula.

Hamwi (1964) is designed for a medium body frame. For small frames, subtract 10%; for large frames, add 10%.

Robinson (1983) and Miller (1983) were derived from population studies and provide updated estimates.

BMI range (18.5–24.9) is the WHO-defined healthy weight range. These formulas are guidelines — actual ideal weight depends on muscle mass, frame size, and individual health factors. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
