Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy weight for my height?
A healthy weight is one that gives a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Find your height in the chart and read across to the "Healthy weight" column. For example, at 5′ 7″ (170 cm) a healthy weight is about 53.6 to 72.4 kg (118 to 160 lb).
How do I read the BMI chart?
Find your height in the first column, then find the column your weight falls into. The column heading is your BMI category. For an exact number, use the BMI calculator.
Is the BMI chart the same for men and women?
Yes. Adult BMI uses the same formula and categories for men and women aged 20 and over. Children and teens need BMI-for-age percentile charts instead.
