Mathematical Formulas & Calculation Methods

Devine Formula (Standard Medical IBW)

The gold-standard IBW formula used in clinical pharmacology.

Men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch > 5 ft | Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch > 5 ft

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1: Ideal Body Weight for a 5 ft 10 in (178 cm) Male

"Calculate IBW using Devine formula and healthy BMI range."

Steps:

Height = 5 ft 10 in (10 inches over 5 ft). Gender = Male.
Devine IBW = 50 kg + (2.3 × 10) = 50 + 23 = 73.0 kg (160.9 lbs).
Healthy BMI Range (18.5 - 24.9) for 1.78m = 58.6 kg to 78.9 kg (129.2 to 173.9 lbs).

Result: Devine IBW = 73.0 kg / 160.9 lbs (Healthy Range: 58.6 - 78.9 kg)
