Estimating ideal body weight - A new formula OBESITY SURGERY Lemmens, H. J., Brodsky, J. B., Bernstein, D. P. 2005; 15 (7): 1082-1083

Abstract

A simple formula for estimating ideal body weight (IBW) in kilograms for both men and women is presented. The equation IBW = 22 x H2, where H is equal to patient height in meters, yields weight values midway within the range of weights obtained using published IBW formulae.
