How the range is calculated
A healthy weight is any weight that gives an adult BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 at your height, rounded to one decimal as on the calculator. The ranges list every whole pound or kilogram that does. The range is the same for women and men.
What about “ideal weight”?
Formulas such as Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi give a single “ideal” number. They date from the 1960s to the 1980s and were mainly used to estimate medicine doses. We show them on each height page for reference, but guidelines use the BMI range.
With the lower cut-offs recommended for people of South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family background, the healthy range ends at a BMI of 22.9. The Asian BMI calculator shows it for your height.
