  1. Calculation

  2. IBW and ABW Estimated ideal body weight in ( 18 YR and above)(kg)Males: IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet.Females: IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet. • ABWEstimated adjusted body weight (kg)If the actual body weight is greater than 30% of the calculated IBW, calculate the adjusted body weight (ABW): ABW = IBW + 0.4(actual weight - IBW) • The IBW and ABW are used to calculate medication dosages when the patient is obese. • This formula only applies to persons 60 inches (152 cm) or taller.

  3. Conversion • 1 foot is equal to 12 inches • 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm • 1 foot is equal to 30.48 cm • 5 foot is equal to 152.4 cm • 1 Ibis equal to 2.2 kg

  4. Examples • Example 1 • Calculate the ideal body weight (IBW) of a man who is 64 inches tall and weighs 70 kilograms. If this man is obese (> IBW + 30%), calculate the adjusted body weight. • The man's actual weight is less than IBW + 30% so it is not necessary to calculate the adjusted body weight (ABW). IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 x each inch over 5 feet (60inches)IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 x 4 inchesIBW = 50 kg + 9.2IBW = 59.2 kg

  5. EXAMPLE • Example 2 • Calculate the ideal body weight (IBW) of a woman who is 64 inches tall and weighs 80 kilograms. If this woman is obese (> IBW + 30%), calculate the adjusted body weight. • The woman's actual weight is greater than the IBW + 30%, so calculate the ABW: ABW = 54.7 kg + 0.4( 80kg - 54.7 kg) ABW = 54.7 kg + 0.4( 25.3 kg )ABW = 54.7 kg + 10.1kgABW = 64.8 kg IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 x each inch over 5 feet (60inches)IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 x 4 inchesIBW = 45.5 kg + 9.2IBW = 54.7 kg

  6. BMI

  7. Interpret BMI • under 18.5 you are considered underweight • from 18.5 to 24.9 are normal • from 25.0 to 29.9 are overweight • from 30.0 to 39.9 are obese • BMI over 40.0 is considered morbidly obese.

  8. Body Surface Area (BSA) • The Mosteller¹ formula • In metric : • or in inches and pounds:
