• Robinson (1983): A 1983 modification of the Devine formula.
• Miller (1983): Another variation developed in 1983.
• Hamwi (1964): Developed in 1964, commonly used in nutrition.
• BMI: Calculated based on BMI 22, suitable for Asians.

Ideal weight formulas do not fully account for individual differences such as muscle mass, bone density, and age. They may not be suitable for athletes or people with special physical conditions. Please consult a professional for health status evaluation.
