How to use this tool
Enter an adult height of at least 152.4 cm and select the published formula coefficient.
Compare the historical formulas as formulas. Their outputs do not establish a healthy personal target or a clinical dosing weight.
Historical formula = baseline at 60 inches + coefficient × inches above 60

Example inputs
- Sex coefficient used by the published equation: Male coefficient
- Adult height (cm): 175
Method illustration: At exactly 60 inches, the male Devine formula gives 50 kg, Robinson 52 kg and Miller 56.2 kg.
Assumptions and limits
- Historical adult formula comparison for heights at least 152.4 cm. These formulas do not define your healthy or ideal weight and do not account for body composition or individual health.
- No clinical dosing, ventilator setting, diet target or recommendation should be based on this comparison.
