    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 185 cm Male in kg?

    For 185 cm Male Ideal Weight: 79.5 kg Healthy Weight Range: 63.3 kg - 85.5 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 185 cm male?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 185 cm male is 63.3 kg - 85.5 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 79.5 kg for 185 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. 185 cm ≈ 72.83 inches, 12.83 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 12.83 ≈ 79.5 kg. Below 5 feet (152.4 cm) 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 63.3 kg - 85.5 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 185 cm, while the ideal weight 79.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.23. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
