Clinical Ideal Body Weight (IBW) Equations

Devine (1974): Men 50.0 + 2.3 × (H_in - 60) | Women 45.5 + 2.3 × (H_in - 60) Robinson (1983): Men 52.0 + 1.9 × (H_in - 60) | Women 49.0 + 1.7 × (H_in - 60) Miller (1983): Men 56.2 + 1.41 × (H_in - 60) | Women 53.1 + 1.36 × (H_in - 60) Hamwi (1964): Men 48.0 + 2.7 × (H_in - 60) | Women 45.5 + 2.2 × (H_in - 60)

Ideal Body Weight formulas were developed for pharmacological dosing (such as aminoglycosides and anesthesia) and clinical nutritional assessment based on height over 5 feet (60 inches).

Clinical Insights & Practical Usage

  • The Devine formula is the most widely cited in clinical pharmacology and hospital medication guidelines.
  • Healthy BMI range (18.5 – 24.9 kg/m²) provides an evidence-based population target independent of height-above-5-feet assumptions.
  • Frame size adjustments (small, medium, large wrist circumference) typically shift baseline target weight by ±5% to ±10%.
