FAQ

What is the Ideal Weight for 7 feet 2 inches Male in kg?

For 7'2" Male Ideal Weight: 109.8 kg (242.1 lbs) Healthy Weight Range: 88.3 kg - 119.2 kg (194.6 lbs - 262.9 lbs)

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 7'2" male?

The normal/healthy weight range for 7'2" male is 88.3 kg - 119.2 kg (194.6 lbs - 262.9 lbs).

How is the ideal weight of 109.8 kg for 7'2" calculated?

By the Devine formula (1974): 50 kg for a man plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 7'2" is 86 inches, 26 of them above 60, so 50 + 2.3 × 26 = 109.8 kg (242.1 lbs). Below 5 feet (60 inches) this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base weight.

Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

They are two different models. The range 88.3 kg - 119.2 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 7'2", while the ideal weight 109.8 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.01. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
