Formula: Devine formula

Worth Knowing

The Devine formula behind this tool was originally created in the 1970s to standardize medication dosing, not to define a health or aesthetic goal, which is why it produces a single number rather than a range. Real healthy weights span a band of roughly 10–15 kg for any given height once you account for frame size, muscle mass, and body composition, so read the result as the midpoint of a reasonable range rather than a target you must hit exactly.
