    FAQ

    BMI of 19 — is it good or bad?

    BMI 19 for Males and Females means Normal/Healthy Weight

    Is BMI of 19 in the healthy range?

    Yes, BMI of 19 falls into the "Normal/Healthy Weight" category. The healthy BMI range is 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25.

    What weight gives a BMI of 19?

    BMI is weight divided by height in metres squared, so it names a weight only once the height is fixed: at 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) a BMI of 19 means about 121 lb (54.9 kg). A taller person reaches the same BMI at a proportionally higher weight.

    Does a BMI of 19 mean the same for men and women?

    Yes — the WHO adult scale has no separate cut-offs by sex, so a BMI of 19 reads as "Normal/Healthy Weight" for both. Age is what changes it: the adult table starts at 18, while children and teenagers aged 5–19 are compared with age- and sex-specific reference values instead.
