Formulae
When calculating weights, the result must be rounded to one decimal. Percentages may then be computed.Mean ideal weight for women is
- kilograms = 0.67005 × cm − 48.138
- stone = 0.268008 × inches − 7.58044
- pounds = 3.7521 × inches − 106.1261
The body height does not include shoes. The functions are valid for heights from 150 cm through 180 cm (4′ 11″ through 5′ 11″).
Mean ideal weight for men is
- kilograms = 0.7099 × cm − 53.922
- stone = 0.283947 × inches − 8.49126
- pounds = 3.9753 × inches − 118.8777
The body height does not include shoes. The functions are valid for heights from 160 cm through 195 cm (5′ 3″ through 6′ 6″).
Ideal weight and BMI
- BMI (body mass index) is body weight in kilograms divided by the square of body height in metres
- The formula is the same for men and women
- Example: Weight 80.0 kg and height 1.90 metres gives 80.0 ÷ (1.90 × 1.90) = 22.2
Normal judgement
- A BMI less than 18.5 is considered underweight
- A BMI of 18.5 through 24.9 is considered normal
- A BMI of 25.0 through 29.9 is considered overweight
- If the BMI is greater than 30, one is considered obese
Important remarks on exceptions
Javelin thrower
Long-distance runner
- Ideal weight and BMI have their limitations
- They are not to be used as the only basis for assessment
- Javelin throwers and weightlifters have a high BMI without health risks
- Ballet dancers and long-distance runners have a low BMI without health risks
- The above tables and BMI judgement are not to be used for children
