Ideal Weight: 45.5 kg (100.3 lbs)
Healthy Weight Range: 31.1 kg - 41.9 kg (68.5 lbs - 92.4 lbs)

4'3" ≈ 129.5 cm · Devine formula (1974), adults · healthy range: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 at this height (WHO) · not for pregnancy, children or athletes

Below 152.4 cm this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base 45.5 kg — a convention of the calculation, not an individual norm. At this height that point is above the BMI range: 31.1–41.9 kg (68.5–92.4 lbs).

FAQ

What is the Ideal Weight for 4 feet 3 inches Female in kg?

For 4'3" Female Ideal Weight: 45.5 kg (100.3 lbs) Healthy Weight Range: 31.1 kg - 41.9 kg (68.5 lbs - 92.4 lbs)

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 4'3" female?

The normal/healthy weight range for 4'3" female is 31.1 kg - 41.9 kg (68.5 lbs - 92.4 lbs).

How is the ideal weight of 45.5 kg for 4'3" calculated?

By the Devine formula (1974): 45.5 kg for a woman plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 4'3" is 51 inches, 0 of them above 60, so 45.5 + 2.3 × 0 = 45.5 kg (100.3 lbs). Below 5 feet (60 inches) this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base weight.

Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

They are two different models. The range 31.1 kg - 41.9 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 4'3", while the ideal weight 45.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 27.11. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
