Miller et al reported equations for estimating the ideal body weight of an adult.
Parameters:
(1) height in inches
(2) sex
ideal body weight for an adult male in kilograms =
= 56.2 + (1.41 * ((height in inches) - 60))
ideal body weight for an adult female in kilograms =
= 53.1 + (1.36 * ((height in inches) - 60))
