1. Introduction. Ideal body weight (IBW) is defined as weight for height at the lowest risk of mortality. This definition results from a century's research on the association between anatomical characteristics and health. Employing weight, height, and frame size, IBW is calculated via height-weight tables [1e6].
What is meant by ideal body weight?
Ideal body weight is the optimal weight associated with maximum life expectancy for a given height. Before the use of BMI to quantify obesity, TBW above 20% of IBW was defined as being obese.How do I calculate ideal body weight?
Ideal body weight is computed in men as 50 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]) and in women as 45.5 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]). A simple alternative would be to compute ideal body weight as the weight corresponding to an ideal body mass index of 22 kg/m2.
