    What is the Ideal Weight for 142 cm Male in kg?

    Answer

    For 142 cm Male
    Ideal Weight: 50 kg
    Healthy Weight Range: 37.3 kg - 50.3 kg

    142 cm ≈ 4 ft 8 in · 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 50 kg — a convention of the calculation, not an individual norm.

    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 142 cm Male in kg?

    For 142 cm Male Ideal Weight: 50 kg Healthy Weight Range: 37.3 kg - 50.3 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 142 cm male?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 142 cm male is 37.3 kg - 50.3 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 50 kg for 142 cm calculated?

    By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 50 kg for a man and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 142 cm ≈ 55.91 inches, 0 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 0 = 50 kg. Below 5 feet (152.4 cm) 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 37.3 kg - 50.3 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 142 cm, while the ideal weight 50 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 24.8. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
