FAQ

What is the Ideal Weight for 197 cm Male in kg?

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 197 cm male?

The normal/healthy weight range for 197 cm male is 71.8 kg - 97 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 90.4 kg for 197 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. 197 cm ≈ 77.56 inches, 17.56 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 17.56 ≈ 90.4 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 71.8 kg - 97 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 197 cm, while the ideal weight 90.4 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.29. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
