Ideal body weight (IDW)/desirable body weight (DBW) are terms used by the insurance companies to describe weights that are associated with least mortality.
Ideal body weight (IDW)/desirable body weight (DBW) can be calculated by using:
BROCA’S INDEX:
IBW FOR ADULT MALES = Height in Centimeters minus 100
IBW FOR ADULT FEMALES = (Height in Centimeters minus 100) minus 10 % of (Height in centimeters minus 100)
SECOND FORMULA FOR IBW:
IBW FOR ADULT MALES = Height in meter square X 23 X 1.1
IBW FOR ADULT FEMALES = Height in meter square X 23
