Formulas Used
These formulas were developed as
height-based reference weight equations.
They use a base weight at 5 feet and add
weight for each inch above 5 feet.

Female: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft
Robinson
Male: 52 kg + 1.9 kg per inch over 5 ft
Female: 49 kg + 1.7 kg per inch over 5 ft
Miller

Female: 53.1 kg + 1.36 kg per inch over 5 ft
Hamwi
Male: 48 kg + 2.7 kg per inch over 5 ft
Female: 45.5 kg + 2.2 kg per inch over 5 ft
Important:
There is no single ideal body weight that
applies to everyone. These formulas provide
rough adult reference estimates and do not
account for body composition, muscle mass,
frame size, pregnancy, health conditions or
individual differences. The BMI-based range
is also a screening reference rather than a
personal medical target.
