    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 157.5 cm Female in kg?

    For 157.5 cm Female Ideal Weight: 50.1 kg Healthy Weight Range: 45.9 kg - 62 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 157.5 cm female?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 157.5 cm female is 45.9 kg - 62 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 50.1 kg for 157.5 cm calculated?

    By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 45.5 kg for a woman and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 157.5 cm ≈ 62.01 inches, 2.01 of them above the 60-inch mark: 45.5 + 2.3 × 2.01 ≈ 50.1 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 45.9 kg - 62 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 157.5 cm, while the ideal weight 50.1 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 20.2. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
