    FAQ

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

    For 5' Male Ideal Weight: 50 kg (110.2 lbs) Healthy Weight Range: 43 kg - 58.1 kg (94.7 lbs - 128 lbs)

    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 5' Male?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 5' Male is 43 kg - 58.1 kg (94.7 lbs - 128 lbs).

    How is the ideal weight of 50 kg for 5' calculated?

    By the Devine formula (1974): 50 kg for a man plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 5' is 60 inches, 0 of them above 60, so 50 + 2.3 × 0 = 50 kg (110.2 lbs). Below 5 feet the surcharge is clamped at zero and the base weight stands.

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

    They are two different models. The range 43 kg - 58.1 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 5', while the ideal weight 50 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.53. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
