Body Weight Chart
Did you know that almost all body weight chart websites use old tables or formulas created in 1979 or earlier. On this page you'll find not only the obsolete body weight calculations but also the actual interactive version.
Old formulas for ideal body weight
The history for perfect body weight formulas started in 1871 when the french surgeon Dr.P.P. Broca invented this formula:
Weight in kg should be equal to Height in cm - 100, minus or plus 10% for men or 15% for women.
These body weight charts and formulas are not valid any more.
