How it works

Two references

The Devine formula gives a reference weight by height and sex. The healthy range comes from a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Both are estimates for adults.

Limits

It ignores muscle mass, age and bone structure. For an assessment of your case, see a health professional.

Formula

P=b+2.3⋅(h2.54−60)

How to calculate

P is the ideal weight, b the base (50 kg men, 45.5 kg women) and h the height in centimeters: 2.3 kg is added per inch above 60 (1.52 m).

Example

With round numbers, so you can check the math:

For 170 cm (woman), the Devine ideal weight is 61.44 kg and the healthy BMI range goes from 53.47 to 71.96 kg.

Frequently asked questions

Which result should I follow?

Use the healthy range as the main reference; the Devine formula is just one point inside it.

Does it work for children?

No, only for adults.

And for athletes?

It may underestimate, since muscle weighs more.
