Medical Recommendation: This recommendation is based on a Body Mass Index (BMI) range of 19-25. Click to learn more about BMI recommendations

Medical evidence suggests that all body weights within this range are reasonably equally healthy (for people of your height). Outside this range, health risks may occur. Your current Body Mass Index is kg/m2

Other results are described below for completeness, but they aren't recommended.

Metropolitan Life tables: for frame size Medium Large Small This range was taken from the Height and Weight look-up tables created by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company in 1979.

The use of the Met Life tables is very prevalent on the internet, Most websites label them incorrectly as an "ideal" range. However, the values are too large for short people, and laughably wrong for tall people. They have no Age modifiers, and the definition of frame size is too hard to understand.

Other IBW formulas: Dr. BJ Devine created formulas in 1974. Dr. JD Robinson and Dr. DR Miller modified the formulas slightly in 1983. Use: Devine formula Robinson formula Miller formula

The Devine formulas were initially developed to set certain medication doses based on body weight and height. Over time, their use has spread beyond their intended purpose. I suggest you use the Devine formula if you are a man or use the Robinson formula if you are a woman. Click to learn more about these ideal weight formulas
