Calculation of the ideal weight according to the formula of Cref

Attention, this calculation is not that of the BMI (Body Mass Index). This is a different measurement, you can find more information about BMI on this page .

Fill in your height (in cm) as well as your gender and we will calculate your ideal weight according to the Creff formula.

YOUR RESULTS

Your ideal weight is awaiting calculation. Once calculated we will provide an interpretation.

ORIGINS OF CREFF’S IDEAL WEIGHT & EXPLANATIONS

The Creff formula ⁽¹⁾ is one of the many formulas allowing to know its theoretical ideal weight (in the same way as the formula of Lorentz , Monnerot Dumaine and Broca ). This formula has the advantage of bringing in the notion of morphology. A dimension that was until now ignored in the other most popular formulas.

The formula depends on the morphology of the individual . For a person with a ” slender ” morphology (i.e. fine), the “classic” result is indeed reduced by 10%, and for a person with a ” wide ” morphology this same result is then increased by 10%. .

The equations for using the Creff formula are shown below.

In the case of a classic morphology, the theoretical ideal weight is given in this way: $P o i d s i d é a l = (T - 100 + (A / 10)) * 0, 9$

In the case of a “gracile” morphology, the result is reduced by 10%, i.e. the following formula:

$P o i d s i d é a l = (T - 100 + (A / 10)) * 0, 9 * 0, 9$

For a “large” morphology, the result is increased by 10%, i.e. the following formula: $P o i d s i d é a l = (T - 100 + (A / 10)) * 0, 9 * 1, 1$

Where the height is expressed in centimeters ( T value ), the age in years ( A value ) and where the result obtained is provided in kilograms.

The main disadvantage of this formula is the fact that evaluating one’s own morphology requires a very subjective first interpretation of oneself. Moreover, this notion is vague, it cannot be clearly determined.
