What is the Ideal Weight for 145 cm Male in kg?

Answer

For 145 cm Male
Ideal Weight: 50 kg
Healthy Weight Range: 38.9 kg - 52.5 kg

145 cm ≈ 4 ft 9 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.

How is the ideal weight of 50 kg for 145 cm calculated?

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

They are two different models. The range 38.9 kg - 52.5 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 145 cm, while the ideal weight 50 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.78. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
