Frequently Asked Questions
Adjusted body weight is a formula used to estimate a more accurate body weight for obese individuals when calculating nutritional needs. It accounts for excess weight by adding a fraction of the difference between actual weight and ideal body weight.
For males: IBW = 50 kg + 0.91 kg per cm over 152.4 cm. For females: IBW = 45.5 kg + 0.91 kg per cm over 152.4 cm.
ABW is often used in clinical settings for patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) to estimate energy and protein requirements more accurately than using actual or ideal body weight alone.
