Häufig Gestellte Fragen
What is the Devine formula?
The Devine formula was created by Dr. B.J. Devine in 1974 to estimate ideal body weight for drug dosing. It uses height in inches as the primary input: for men, IBW = 50 + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet; for women, IBW = 45.5 + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet.
Is ideal body weight the same for everyone?
No. Ideal weight varies by body frame size (small, medium, large), muscle mass, age, and individual health factors. The Devine formula provides a general starting guideline, not a definitive target.
What is the difference between ideal body weight and healthy weight range?
Ideal body weight (IBW) is a single target number based on height, originally designed for medication dosing. A healthy weight range is broader, typically defined by a BMI of 18.5-24.9, giving a lower and upper bound based on your height.
What if I weigh more than my ideal body weight?
Being above your calculated IBW does not automatically mean you are unhealthy. Athletes and muscular individuals often exceed the IBW because the formula does not account for muscle mass. Use BMI and body fat percentage together for a more complete health picture.
