ORIGINS OF MONNEROT DUMAINE’S IDEAL WEIGHT & EXPLANATIONS
There are 4 popular formulas for knowing your ideal weight . Monnerot Dumaine’s formula is one of them (as well as Lorentz ‘s , Creff ‘s and Broca ‘s formula ). This formula has a certain advantage: it makes it possible to take into account the framework of individuals , which is not the case of the Lorentz formula (yet more popular).
The formula is the same for men and women. It is the following:W e ight _ _ i d e a l = (T−100+(4∗TP))/2
Where the height is expressed in centimeters ( T value ), and the wrist size is also expressed in centimeters ( TP value ).
