According to the B.J. Devine Formula, the ideal weight for a 172 cm male is
67.7 kg (149.3 lbs)
For a 172 cm male, having a weight in the 54.7 kg to 73.7 kg range is considered a healthy/normal weight according to the BMI classification.
The B.J. Devine Formula is an old-school way to ballpark your ideal weight. It was cooked up by this doc, B.J. Devine, back in the early 1900s for the American Medical Association.
Ideal Weight (kg) for male: = 50 + 2.3 * (Height [cm] - 60)
BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)^2
Healthy BMI range: 18.5 to 24.9
Determining the ideal weight for a 172 centimeters male requires considering various factors and methods. While the B.J. Devine Ideal Weight Formula and BMI provide initial estimates, it's crucial to consider individual factors and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
