The three most popular formulas for calculating ideal weight are the Devine, Robinson and Miller formulas. These
formulas are primarily used for calculating medication dosages, and they are based only on height and gender. The
table below shows the ideal weight calculated using these formulas as well as the weight associated with the Body
Mass Index (BMI) ranging between 18.5 and 25, which is considered the "normal" range. This table should only be
used as a general guide, and does not apply to children.
