Broca's formula can not be called accurate. Experts in the field of nutrition of the opinion that under the scheme the most true calculated weight of people aged 40 to 50 years. People under the age of 30 should reduce the result by 10% over the age of 50 - to increase by 5-7%. But even after the amendment of the formula calculation, it remains flawed. In the formula Brock is not considered human body type.
The three main types of human body include: normostenichesky (normokostny), asthenia (tonkokostnoe) and hypersthenic (boned) types. You can define the type of measuring the girth of the wrist.
Circumference of the wrist for women asthenic type - 16 cm. Representatives normosthenic body have wrist circumference of 16.5 to 18 cm. In women with hypersthenic physique, the figure is more than 18 cm. For men, asthenic type is characterized by wrist less than 17 cm in girth. For hypersthenic type more than 20 cm. The girth of the wrist from 17.5 to 20 cm have a man with normostenicheskaya body type.
Get the results, you can still finish a little above formula Brock, subtracting from the result of 10% (for asthenic type) or adding 10% (for hypersthenic).
Calculate the optimal weight can also Formula Brunharda. To do this, the growth (in centimeters) multiplied by the circumference of the chest and divide the result by 240.
One of the most complex formulas calculate the optimal weight - Formula Neglera. According to this formula is adopted as the standard ratio of 45 kilograms of weight at 152, and 4 cm in height for every 2, 45 cm is added 900 grams. Added to the product 10%.
