Worked example
Let's calculate the ideal weight for a person who is 5 feet 7 inches tall and identifies as a woman.
- Convert height to inches: 5 feet × 12 inches/foot + 7 inches = 67 inches.
- Apply the formula: (67 - 54) × 2.1 + 100 = 13 × 2.1 + 100 = 27.3 + 100 = 127.3 lbs.
- The ideal weight range for this person is approximately 127 lbs.
This example shows how the formula is applied to determine the ideal weight range for a specific height and gender.
