    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 156 cm Male in kg?

    For 156 cm Male Ideal Weight: 53.3 kg Healthy Weight Range: 45.1 kg - 60.8 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 156 cm male?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 156 cm male is 45.1 kg - 60.8 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 53.3 kg for 156 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. 156 cm ≈ 61.42 inches, 1.42 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 1.42 ≈ 53.3 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 45.1 kg - 60.8 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 156 cm, while the ideal weight 53.3 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.9. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
