From body mass index or BMI = weight of the person in kg / height in meter

Now calculating the ideal body = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch above 5 feet
Ideal body weight (IBW) = 45.5 + 2.3 x 2

= 82.72 %
The normal range of percentage ideal body weight lies between 90 - 100 percent. Thus, the percentage ideal body weight of Mr. Swanson is low.
