How is the ideal weight of 65 kg for 169 cm calculated?

By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 50 kg for a man and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 169 cm is 66.54 inches, 6.54 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 65 kg. Below 5 feet the surcharge is zero and the base weight stands.

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