How to use this calculator
- Enter sex and height.
- Optionally add your current weight.
- See ideal weight by four formulas and the Asian BMI range.
How it works
The Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi formulas estimate ideal body weight from height and sex. They were derived in Western populations, so the calculator also shows the weight at BMI 22, the middle of the healthy Asian range.

Physiotherapy treatment
Lifestyle and activity guidance is the core of physiotherapy for weight related mobility concerns. After an assessment, your physiotherapist sets a plan built around walking and progressive strengthening, progressed as your results improve. Hands-on treatment, pain relief and education are added where they help.

Medical note

Stop and seek medical help for chest pain, fainting, sudden weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe or rapidly worsening pain. Always follow your surgeon's or doctor's instructions over any calculator.
