Working Principle

The Epley formula is a simple mathematical formula used to estimate ideal body weight based on height. It's particularly useful for healthcare professionals and individuals who want to determine a healthy weight range.

The formula is:

IBW = 50 kg + 1.9 kg × (Height (cm) - 152.4 cm)

For example, if you are a 170 cm tall male, your IBW would be:

IBW = 50 kg + 1.9 kg × (170 cm - 152.4 cm) = 64.66 kg

  • Ideal body weight is just one factor in determining health. Other measures like body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference are also important.
  • This formula is based on averages and may not be accurate for everyone, especially athletes or individuals with muscle mass differences.
