About the Height Weight Calculator

The Height Weight Calculator helps determine a healthy weight range based on your height, age, gender, and body frame. This tool uses several scientific formulas to provide an ideal weight range that can serve as a general guideline for health goals.

How It Works

This calculator uses multiple established formulas to determine ideal weight ranges:

  • Devine Formula: Primarily used for medication dosage calculations
  • Hamwi Formula: Developed in 1964 for establishing ideal body weights
  • Robinson Formula: A variation that accounts for differences in gender
  • Miller Formula: Places emphasis on lean body mass
  • BMI Method: Calculates weight ranges based on body mass index

Understanding Body Frame Size

Body frame size can significantly impact ideal weight ranges:

  • Small Frame: If your wrist is smaller than average for your height, or you have a more delicate bone structure
  • Medium Frame: Average wrist circumference and bone structure
  • Large Frame: Larger than average wrist circumference or more substantial bone structure

To estimate your frame size, you can measure your wrist circumference:

Frame Size Guide (Wrist Circumference)

Height Small Frame Medium Frame Large Frame
Women under 5'2" Less than 5.5" 5.5" to 5.75" Over 5.75"
Women 5'2" to 5'5" Less than 6" 6" to 6.25" Over 6.25"

Limitations

It's important to understand that this calculator provides general guidelines and has some limitations:

  • Does not account for individual muscle mass variations
  • Does not consider specific health conditions
  • Athletic individuals may have healthy weights outside these ranges due to higher muscle mass
  • Age-related variations beyond the basic calculation may apply

Using the Results

The ideal weight range provided should be used as a reference point rather than an absolute target. For personalized health advice, consult with a healthcare professional who can take into account your complete health profile.
