Ideal Body Weight and Adjusted Body Weight calculates ideal body weight (Devine formula) and adjusted body weight.
To calculate ideal body weight (Devine formula) and adjusted body weight.
Formula - Ideal Body Weight (Devine formula): Ideal body weight (IBW) (men) = 50 kg + 2.3 kg x (height, in - 60) Ideal body weight (IBW) (women) = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg x (height, in - 60) Note: this formula is only an approximation, and is generally only applicable for people 60 inches (5 foot) tall or greater. For patients under 5 feet, one commonly-used modification is to subtract 2-5 lbs for each inch below 60 inches (written communication with leading expert Dr. Manjunath Pai, 2018). Adjusted Body Weight (ABW), for use in obese patients (where actual body weight > IBW): ABW = IBW + 0.4 x (actual body weight - IBW)
Only use Adjusted Body Weight (ABW), for obese patients where actual body weight > IBW.
