FAQ

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 194 cm male?

The normal/healthy weight range for 194 cm male is 69.7 kg - 94 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 87.7 kg for 194 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. 194 cm ≈ 76.38 inches, 16.38 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 16.38 ≈ 87.7 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 69.7 kg - 94 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 194 cm, while the ideal weight 87.7 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.3. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
