Of course! The “ideal” weight varies depending on several factors: height, age, sex, muscle mass, and body type. However, a general estimate can be given using BMI (Body Mass Index), which is a standard method.

1. BMI Calculation & Classification (Adults)

  • Formula: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]²

  • Classifications:

    • Underweight: < 18.5

    • Normal range: 18.5 – 24.9

    • Overweight: 25 – 29.9

    • Obesity: ≥ 30

2. “Ideal” or Healthy Weight Range by Height

This range typically corresponds to a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9.

Height (cm)Healthy Weight Range (kg)Mid-Range BMI (~21.7)
15042 – 5651
15545 – 5954
16047 – 6457
16550 – 6860
17053 – 7264
17556 – 7668
18059 – 8171
18563 – 8675
