How This Works
This uses the Devine formula, originally developed for medication dosing, that has become a common reference point for "ideal" body weight. It's based purely on height and doesn't account for frame size, muscle mass, or body composition — treat it as a general reference rather than a strict target.
Formula (Devine)
Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal weight for a 185cm tall man?
Approximately 79.5 kg, using the Devine formula.

It's one of several methods (others include Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas) and results vary slightly between them. All are rough estimates — body composition and frame size matter more for individual health targets.
