Question

What is the normal weight of a human being?

Answer 1

Body weight:

1. A basic measure of body weight may be used to track weight fluctuations and if we are meeting our body weight objectives.
2. The normal weight of a human being, or optimum body weight, is computed by taking the person's height into account.

Devine formula:

1. The Devine formula is used to establish an adult's optimal body weight.
2. The Devine Formula is a famous calculation for predicting optimal body weight based solely on height.
3. The average body weight formula is as follows:
4. For male – $50\mathrm{kg}+0.9\mathrm{kg}\times [\mathrm{height}(\mathrm{cm})-152]$
5. For female – $45.5\mathrm{kg}+0.9\mathrm{kg}\times [\mathrm{height}(\mathrm{cm})–152]$
6. These formulae are appropriate for the general population, but only for those taller than 5 feet.
7. The Broca Index, Hamwi Formula, Peterson Equation, Ponderal Index, and Adiposity Index are some more formulae for estimating optimal body weight.
