What is a healthy weight at 182cm?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 corresponds to 61.3 to 82.5kg at this height — about 135 to 182 pounds — a window of 21.2kg. Every weight inside it carries the same verdict from the measure, and there is no basis for preferring the middle. On the WHO supplementary cut-offs for South and East Asian populations the upper bound falls to 75.9kg, with the lower bound unchanged.

How much does one kilogram move BMI at 182cm?

About 0.30 of a BMI point, since one kilogram is one divided by height in metres squared. So it takes roughly 3.3kg to move a whole point, and the entire healthy window of 21.2kg spans 6.4 points. Most people fluctuate by one to two kilograms across a day from food and fluid, which is 0.30 to 0.60 of a point arriving and leaving on its own.

Why do BMI charts round the boundaries differently?

Some sources give the healthy range as 18.5 to 24.9 and others as 18.5 to 25, which is the same boundary described two ways — 25 is where overweight begins, so 24.9 is the last value below it. A few use 18.5 to 23 for Asian populations under the WHO supplementary cut-offs. The differences are presentational except for that last one, which is a genuinely different threshold.

Does the number mean less as I get older?

It means something different rather than less. Muscle is lost steadily from around the fourth decade while fat increases and redistributes toward the abdomen, so an unchanged BMI can conceal a considerably changed body. Some research suggests a slightly higher BMI is associated with better outcomes in later life. The published thresholds do not adjust for any of this.

How do I convert this to stones and pounds?

A kilogram is about 2.205 pounds, and fourteen pounds make a stone — so a kilogram is roughly 0.157 of a stone. The healthy range at 1.70m, 53.5 to 72.0kg, is about 8 stone 6 to 11 stone 5. Doing the conversion changes nothing about the measure; it is worth noting only that stones-and-pounds rounding is coarse enough to move a reading a tenth of a point either way.

BMI Calculator for 182cm

At 182cm the healthy range is 61.3 to 82.5kg. There is a variant called BMI Prime, which is simply BMI divided by 25 so that 1.0 lands exactly on the upper boundary of the healthy range. A BMI of 22 becomes a Prime of 0.88; a BMI of 30 becomes 1.20. It carries no information the original does not, being a rescaling. ..

HOW TO USE

1
The height is already set to 182cm, which is about 6 ft 0 in. Change it if that is not yours and everything below recalculates.
2
Enter a weight in kilograms. Switching to imperial converts the height to the nearest inch, which is a coarser step — two adjacent even centimetre values can land on the same one.
3
Read the range before the category. At this height it spans 21.2kg, and every weight inside produces the same verdict.
4
Treat a reading near a boundary as near a boundary. One kilogram is 0.30 of a point here, and most people vary by more than that across a day.

WORKED EXAMPLE

At 182cm — 1.82m, or about 6 ft 0 in — a BMI of 18.5 puts the lower bound at 61.3kg and a BMI of 24.9 puts the upper bound at 82.5kg. The window is 21.2kg, or about 47 pounds. One kilogram moves the number by 0.30 of a point, so it takes roughly 3.3kg to cross a whole one. On the WHO 2004 cut-offs for South and East Asian populations the upper bound drops to 75.9kg, a reduction of 6.6kg, with the lower bound unchanged.

REFERENCE FORMULAS

FORMULA REFERENCE TABLE

Name	Formula	Description
BMI (Metric)	BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)²	Divide weight in kg by height in metres squared
BMI (Imperial)	BMI = 703 × weight(lbs) / height(in)²	Multiply weight in pounds by 703, divide by height in inches squared
Height in metres	h(m) = h(cm) / 100	Convert centimetres to metres before squaring
BMI Prime	BMI Prime = BMI / 25	Ratio of BMI to upper limit of normal (25). Values >1.00 indicate overweight
Ponderal Index	PI = weight(kg) / height(m)³	More accurate than BMI for very tall or short individuals. Normal: 11–15 kg/m³
Healthy weight	w = BMI × height(m)²	Rearranged BMI formula: weight(kg) for any target BMI at your height
