🧮 About this calculator
Ideal body weight (IBW) is a reference weight for a given height. Multiple formulas exist; this calculator uses the Devine formula with a range based on frame size.
Inputs
📘 Formula & explanation
Devine: Men = 50 + 2.3 * (height_in - 60); Women = 45.5 + 2.3 * (height_in - 60)
Devine (1974) provides a baseline IBW. Frame size adjusts this by +/-10% for small/large frames.
