    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 163 cm Female in kg?

    For 163 cm Female Ideal Weight: 55.1 kg Healthy Weight Range: 49.2 kg - 66.4 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 163 cm female?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 163 cm female is 49.2 kg - 66.4 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 55.1 kg for 163 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. 163 cm ≈ 64.17 inches, 4.17 of them above the 60-inch mark: 45.5 + 2.3 × 4.17 ≈ 55.1 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 49.2 kg - 66.4 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 163 cm, while the ideal weight 55.1 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 20.74. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
