Whole-number boundaries whose BMI, rounded to one decimal, lies in the reference range. For adults only, without accounting for body composition.
How the range is calculated
Weight = BMI × height (m)². WHO gives 18.5 to 24.9 as the reference range. This calculator rounds BMI to one decimal before classifying it. It finds whole weights whose displayed BMI falls within the range. At 170 cm this is 54 to 72 kg. The adjacent weights, 53 and 73 kg, fall outside. These are arithmetic boundaries, not a personal recommendation.
Why a range and not one number
Bodies differ in frame, muscle and how fat is distributed. A range is therefore fairer than a single number. Being near the edge of the range does not say much on its own. Discuss personal targets with your doctor.
This calculator gives general reference values and does not replace advice from a doctor. For children and teens under 18, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for very muscular builds and in older age, the results are of limited use.
