Is lean body weight the same as ideal body weight?
Considering this, how much lean body weight do I have?
For instance, if you weigh 200 pounds and have learned that your body fat percentage is 20%, multiply 200 x 0.20. This is your fat in pounds (200 x 0.20 = 40 lbs). Subtract that from your total weight to get your lean body mass; in this case, 200 - 40 = 160lbs of lean body mass!
Also, how do you calculate lean body weight with anesthesia?
Ideal body weight is computed in men as 50 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]) and in women as 45.5 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]). A simple alternative would be to compute ideal body weight as the weight corresponding to an ideal body mass index of 22 kg/m2.
However, if the patient is obese, then a correction is used. The adjusted body weight correction states that if a patient's actual weight is 30% over his or her ideal body weight, then a 40% correction factor should be applied and that weight should be used in the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
