FAQ

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 196 cm female?

The normal/healthy weight range for 196 cm female is 71.1 kg - 96 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 85 kg for 196 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. 196 cm ≈ 77.17 inches, 17.17 of them above the 60-inch mark: 45.5 + 2.3 × 17.17 ≈ 85 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 71.1 kg - 96 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 196 cm, while the ideal weight 85 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.13. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
