Find the healthy weight range for your height.
At 165 cm, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 corresponds to a weight of 50.4–67.8 kg.
A healthy weight range is the span of weights for your height that corresponds to a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Enter your height — and, if you like, your current weight — and the calculator shows the range in kilograms and pounds, plus the narrower range using the Asian-population cut-off (BMI up to 22.9).
Healthy ranges are guides rather than targets. Frame, muscle, age and health conditions all matter, and many people are healthy at weights outside the range. If thinking about weight causes you distress, please speak to a doctor. See the BMI Calculator and Ideal Weight Calculator.
The calculator applies the standard published formulas step by step.

The range with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9. At 165 cm that is about 50–68 kg.
Health risks such as diabetes rise at lower BMIs in South and East Asian populations, so BMI 18.5–22.9 is often used.
The BMI-based range is the same, though body composition differs.
Being outside the range does not mean you are unhealthy, but it is worth checking in with a doctor, along with waist size and blood tests.
Older adults may do better at the upper part of the range, so ask your doctor what is right for you.
Not necessarily. There is no single ideal; a stable weight you can maintain comfortably is what counts.
It uses the published formula: healthy range = 18.5 × height² to 24.9 × height² (height in metres) The full method and a worked example are shown on this page.
