    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 161 cm Female?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 161 cm Female is 48 kg - 64.8 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 53.3 kg for 161 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. 161 cm is 63.39 inches, 3.39 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 53.3 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 48 kg - 64.8 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 161 cm, while the ideal weight 53.3 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 20.56. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
