How is the ideal weight of 59.3 kg for 5'6" calculated?
By the Devine formula (1974): 45.5 kg for a woman plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 5'6" is 66 inches, 6 of them above 60, so 45.5 + 2.3 × 6 = 59.3 kg (130.7 lbs). Below 5 feet the surcharge is clamped at zero and the base weight stands.
Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?
They are two different models.
