At 90kg the BMI runs from 40.0 at 150cm to 22.5 at two metres. A useful way to read this: rather than asking what BMI 90kg gives, ask what height it would take for 90kg to sit inside the healthy band. The answer is 190 to 221cm — taller than the overwhelming majority of adults. That inversion is more honest than a si..

FULL SUMMARY
WHO BMI CATEGORIES
The weight is already set to 90kg, which is about 198 pounds. Enter your height and the BMI follows — until you do, the figure is undetermined.
Both unit systems are seeded, so switching between kilograms and pounds keeps the same weight rather than reverting to a default.
Read the band of heights rather than any single BMI. At 90kg the healthy band runs 190 to 221cm, and that band is what a weight actually determines.
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.
At 90kg — about 198 pounds — the BMI is undetermined until a height is supplied. At 150cm it is 40.0, at 175cm 29.4, and at 200cm 22.5: a spread of 17.5 points from one unchanged weight, which is wider than the entire healthy band. Inverting the formula gives what a weight can determine: 90kg sits inside the healthy BMI band for heights between 190cm and 221cm, a window 31cm wide, or roughly 6ft 3in to 7ft 3in. On the WHO 2004 cut-offs for South and East Asian populations the shortest suitable height rises to 198cm, because those thresholds lower the top of the BMI band while leaving 18.5 in place.
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 |
