FAQ

What is the Ideal Weight for 186 cm Male in kg?

For 186 cm Male Ideal Weight: 80.4 kg Healthy Weight Range: 64 kg - 86.4 kg

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 186 cm male?

The normal/healthy weight range for 186 cm male is 64 kg - 86.4 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 80.4 kg for 186 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. 186 cm ≈ 73.23 inches, 13.23 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 13.23 ≈ 80.4 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 64 kg - 86.4 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 186 cm, while the ideal weight 80.4 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.24. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
