    What is Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 188 cm Female?

    Normal/Healthy Weight Range for 188 cm Female is 65.4 kg - 88.4 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 77.7 kg for 188 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. 188 cm is 74.02 inches, 14.02 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 77.7 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 65.4 kg - 88.4 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 188 cm, while the ideal weight 77.7 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.99. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
