    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 5 feet Female in kg?

    For 5' Female Ideal Weight: 45.5 kg (100.3 lbs) Healthy Weight Range: 43 kg - 58 kg (94.8 lbs - 127.9 lbs)

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 5' female?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 5' female is 43 kg - 58 kg (94.8 lbs - 127.9 lbs).

    How is the ideal weight of 45.5 kg for 5' calculated?

    By the Devine formula (1974): 45.5 kg for a woman plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 5' is 60 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 43 kg - 58 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 5', while the ideal weight 45.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 19.59. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
