Estimating ideal body weight--a new formula.
Obes Surg. 2005; (7): 1082-3
A simple formula for estimating ideal body weight (IBW) in kilograms for both men and women is presented. The equation IBW = 22 x H2, where H is equal to patient height in meters, yields weight values midway within the range of weights obtained using published IBW formulae.
