Tannhauser’s Method Ador Dionisio’s Method

Given: Male, 30 years old, 4’6 tall Given: Male, 30 years old, 4’6 tall

Height: 4’6 = 137.16cm Height: 5ft = 110 lbs.

137.16 – 100 = 37.16cm 4’6 - ?
10% of 37.16 cm = 3.716 5ft – 4’6 = 6 inches
37.16 – 3.716 = DBW (kg) 6inches x 2 = 12 lbs.
DBW (kg) = 33.44 kg or 73.72 lbs. 110 lbs. – 12 lbs. = 98 lbs.

Age: (30 years old) x 2 = 12 lbs.
