About this adjusted body weight calculator

Ideal body weight by Devine is 50 kg for men (45.5 kg for women) + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet. Adjusted body weight adds 40% of the excess: IBW + 0.4 × (actual − IBW). A 68-inch man at 110 kg has IBW 68.4 kg and adjusted weight 68.4 + 0.4 × 41.6 = 85 kg. It is used when actual weight is above about 120% of ideal.
