    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 158 cm Male in kg?

    For 158 cm Male Ideal Weight: 55.1 kg Healthy Weight Range: 46.2 kg - 62.4 kg

    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 158 cm Male?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 158 cm Male is 46.2 kg - 62.4 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 55.1 kg for 158 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. 158 cm is 62.2 inches, 2.2 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 55.1 kg. Below 5 feet the surcharge is 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 46.2 kg - 62.4 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 158 cm, while the ideal weight 55.1 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.06. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
