    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 159 cm Female in kg?

    For 159 cm Female Ideal Weight: 51.5 kg Healthy Weight Range: 46.8 kg - 63.2 kg

    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 159 cm Female?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 159 cm Female is 46.8 kg - 63.2 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 51.5 kg for 159 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. 159 cm is 62.6 inches, 2.6 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 51.5 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 46.8 kg - 63.2 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 159 cm, while the ideal weight 51.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 20.36. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
