BMI for 60kg

At 60kg the healthy band corresponds to heights between 155 and 180cm — which covers a large share of the adult population, and is why this is among the most looked-up weights on any chart. Across the wider height range the BMI runs from 26.7 at 150cm to 15.0 at two metres. The same 60kg is overweight for one person a..

HOW TO USE

  1. 1

    The weight is already set to 60kg, which is about 132 pounds. Enter your height and the BMI follows — until you do, the figure is undetermined.

  2. 2

    Both unit systems are seeded, so switching between kilograms and pounds keeps the same weight rather than reverting to a default.

  3. 3

    Read the band of heights rather than any single BMI. At 60kg the healthy band runs 155 to 180cm, and that band is what a weight actually determines.

  4. 4

    A reading near a category boundary should be read as near a boundary. Most people vary by one to two kilograms across a day from food and fluid alone.

WORKED EXAMPLE

At 60kg — about 132 pounds — the BMI is undetermined until a height is supplied. At 150cm it is 26.7, at 175cm 19.6, and at 200cm 15.0: a spread of 11.7 points from one unchanged weight, which is wider than the entire healthy band. Inverting the formula gives what a weight can determine: 60kg sits inside the healthy BMI band for heights between 155cm and 180cm, a window 25cm wide, or roughly 5ft 1in to 5ft 11in. On the WHO 2004 cut-offs for South and East Asian populations the shortest suitable height rises to 162cm, because those thresholds lower the top of the BMI band while leaving 18.5 in place.

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