Ideal Body Weight API

Ideal body weight and clinical body-metric maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The ideal endpoint computes ideal body weight from height and sex by the four standard formulas — Devine (the clinical standard for drug dosing), Robinson, Miller and Hamwi — each adding a per-inch increment for every inch above 5 ft, plus their average; a 5 ft 10 in (178 cm) man comes out at 73.0 kg by Devine. The adjusted endpoint computes the adjusted body weight used to dose drugs in overweight patients, ABW = IBW + 0.4·(actual − IBW), from height, sex and actual weight. The bsa endpoint computes body surface area — central to chemotherapy and cardiac-index dosing — by the Mosteller (√(height·weight/3600)), Du Bois and Haycock formulas, so a 180 cm, 80 kg adult is about 2.0 m². Height is accepted in centimetres or inches and weight in kilograms. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for digital-health, EHR, pharmacy, clinical-decision-support, telemedicine and medical-education app developers, dosing and body-metric tools, and health software. These are clinical estimation formulas, not a substitute for professional medical judgement. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is ideal/adjusted weight and body surface area; for body-mass index use a BMI API.

Body Metrics API

Anthropometric body-metrics maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The body-surface-area endpoint computes the body surface area in square metres from height and weight by five established formulas — Mosteller √(height·weight/3600), DuBois, Haycock, Gehan-George and Boyd — with their average, the figure used for chemotherapy dosing and cardiac index. The lean-mass endpoint estimates lean body mass from height, weight and sex by the Boer, James and Hume formulas, with the fat mass and body-fat percent that follow. The waist-ratio endpoint computes the waist-to-hip ratio (fat distribution) and the waist-to-height ratio — where keeping your waist under half your height is the simple healthy rule — with WHO-style risk bands. Heights and circumferences are in centimetres, weight in kilograms. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for health, fitness, clinical, telemedicine and wellness app developers, body-composition and dosing tools, and health education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is body surface area, lean mass and waist ratios; for BMI, body fat and ideal weight use a BMI API and for BMR and TDEE a BMR API.
