Body Weight Calculations

by Hratch L. Karamanoukian, MD and Pierre S. Aoukar, MD
Posted: April 5


The best website I have seen regarding various calculations for ideal body weight is by Steven B Halls, MD.

You can click on your height, weight and body frame type and get several different calculations and recommendations for weight.

As well, you get a number for body mass index, which gives you a risk category for the development of heart disease.

Reference:
Ideal Body Weight and Body Mass Index, Excerpt from the book: Everything Good For The Heart: The A to Z Guide. Magalhaes Scientific Press

Date of Article Publication:
2003
