    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 172 cm Female?

    How is the ideal weight of 63.2 kg for 172 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. 172 cm is 67.72 inches, 7.72 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 63.2 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 54.7 kg - 74 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 172 cm, while the ideal weight 63.2 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.38. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
