    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 179 cm Female?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 179 cm Female is 59.3 kg - 80.1 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 69.6 kg for 179 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. 179 cm is 70.47 inches, 10.47 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 69.6 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 59.3 kg - 80.1 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 179 cm, while the ideal weight 69.6 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.72. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
