    For 161 cm Male Ideal Weight: 57.8 kg Healthy Weight Range: 48 kg - 64.8 kg

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

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

    How is the ideal weight of 57.8 kg for 161 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. 161 cm is 63.39 inches, 3.39 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 57.8 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 57.8 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.29. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
