    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 165 cm Male in kg?

    For 165 cm Male Ideal Weight: 61.4 kg Healthy Weight Range: 50.4 kg - 68 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 165 cm male?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 165 cm male is 50.4 kg - 68 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 61.4 kg for 165 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. 165 cm ≈ 64.96 inches, 4.96 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 4.96 ≈ 61.4 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 50.4 kg - 68 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 165 cm, while the ideal weight 61.4 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.55. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
