UPDATED IBW CHART USING BJ DEVINE FORMULA:
We recently received a question about the IBW Chart. The chart in the book was created using the Hamwi's Formula which is the original Ideal Body Weight Calculation. There are several other methods for calculating IBW. See the link below. Please comment if you would like to see additional IBW charts added using other calculations or if you feel this method is too outdated to use in current OFA practice.
