How to Calculate Ideal Weight for 190cm

1

Convert height to inches

190 cm ÷ 2.54 = 74.8 inches (6'3")
2

Inches above 5 feet (60 in)

74.8 − 60 = 14.8 inches above 5ft
3

Apply Devine formula (most used)

Men: 50 + (2.3 × 14.8) = 84 kgWomen: 45.5 + (2.3 × 14.8) = 79.5 kg
4

Verify with BMI

BMI = 84 ÷ (1.90)² = 22.8 ✅ Within healthy range

About the 4 Medical Formulas

Hamwi (1964)

The earliest formula, developed by Dr. G.J. Hamwi in 1964 for clinical nutrition. Published via the American Diabetes Association and became the first bedside reference.

Devine (1974)

Developed by Dr. B.J. Devine in 1974 for drug dosage calculations. Despite its pharmacological origin, it became the most cited IBW formula in electronic health records worldwide.

Robinson (1983)

Developed by Dr. J.D. Robinson in 1983 using regression analysis of Metropolitan Life Insurance data. Considered the most statistically rigorous of the four.

Miller (1983)

Developed by Dr. D.R. Miller in 1983 using updated Metropolitan Life tables. Typically produces the highest values, accommodating heavier body frames.

Why Does Ideal Weight Differ Between Men and Women?

At 190cm, men's ideal weight is approximately 6 kg higher than women's. The primary reason: men naturally carry higher muscle mass (muscle is denser than fat at equal volume) and higher bone density. Per PMC research (2021), healthy body fat is 20–25% for women vs 15–20% for men.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal weight for 190cm?
The ideal weight for 190cm (6'3") ranges from 66.8 to 89.9 kg for men, and 66.8 to 89.9 kg for women. This range is based on a healthy BMI of 18.5–24.9 per WHO classification guidelines.
What is the ideal weight for a woman at 190cm?
For a woman at 190cm, the ideal weight ranges from 66.8 to 89.9 kg. The average across 4 validated formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi) is 76.3 kg. Individual results may vary based on muscle mass and body frame.
Is 93 kg a healthy weight for 190cm?
A weight of 93 kg at 190cm gives a BMI of approximately 25.7, which falls in the overweight range (25–29.9). Working toward the healthy range (66.8–89.9 kg) through balanced nutrition and exercise is recommended.
How do I calculate BMI for 190cm height?
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². For 190cm (1.90m): BMI = your weight ÷ 3.61. Example: if you weigh 82.3 kg, your BMI = 22.8 — within the healthy range (18.5–24.9).
What is the difference between Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi formulas for 190cm?
For men at 190cm: Devine = 84 kg, Robinson = 80.1 kg, Miller = 77.1 kg, Hamwi = 88 kg. For women: Devine = 79.5 kg, Robinson = 74.2 kg, Miller = 73.2 kg, Hamwi = 78.1 kg. Using the average of all four gives the most balanced estimate.
How do I reach my ideal weight at 190cm?
To reach the ideal weight (82.3 kg for men, 76.3 kg for women) at 190cm: calculate your daily calorie needs using a TDEE calculator, then create a deficit of no more than 500 calories/day to safely lose 0.5 kg per week. Incorporate strength training 3×/week to preserve muscle mass.
