Message definition (Human body weight)
The most common estimation of IBW is by the Devine formula; other models exist and have been noted to give similar results. Other methods used in estimating the ideal body weight are [[body mass index]] and the Hamwi method. The IBW is not the perfect fat measurement, as it does not show the fat or muscle percentage in one's body. For example, athletes' results may show that they are overweight when they are actually very fit and healthy. Machines like the [[dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry]] can accurately measure the percentage and weight of fat, muscle, and bone in a body.
