It also shows results using other (outdated) methods. This calculator applies for people of more than 16 years old men or women.

Other methods to calculate IBW

According to the formula of Devine (1974)

83.1 kilograms or 183.3 pounds.

Formulas:

• Man: IBW = 50 + 2.3(h - 60)
• Woman: IBW = 45.5 + 2.3(h - 60)

According to the formula of Lorentz (1929)

79.3 kilograms.

Formulas:

• For men: IBW = (h − 100) − ((h − 150)/4)
• For women: IBW = (h − 100) − ((h − 150)/2)

According to the formula of Lorentz (accounting for age)

61.0 kilograms.

Formula:

• IBW = 50 + (h - 150)/4 + (a - 20)/4

According to the formula of Peck's (1974)

77.9 kilograms.

Formulas:

• Man (18 more than years old): IBW = -130.736 + (4.064 * h)
• Woman (18 more than 18 years old): IBW = -111.621 + (3.636 * h)
• Boy (18 years old or less): IBW = -59.6035 + (5.2878 * h) - (0.123939 * h²) + (0.00128936 * h³)
• Girl (18 years old or less): IBW = -77.55796 + (6.93728 * h) - (0.171703 * h²) + (0.001726 * h³)
