About Ideal Weight
Which formula is best?
No single formula works for everyone. The Devine formula is most used in clinical settings. BMI-based range is now preferred as it accounts for different body frames. For Indians, use the lower end of the range as Indian body types tend toward higher visceral fat.
The 4 formulas explained
Hamwi (1964): Oldest formula, commonly used in clinical nutrition
Devine (1974): Most used in pharmacology for drug dosing
Robinson (1983): Refined version of Devine with larger datasets
Miller (1983): Gives slightly higher weight, suited for muscular frames
Beyond ideal weight
Waist circumference is more predictive of disease risk than weight alone
Men with waist >90cm, women >80cm are at higher metabolic risk
Focus on fitness and metabolic health, not just the number on the scale
