Healthy Weight Chart for Adults: Printable Table by Height (lb, kg, stones)

The healthy weight range for adults at every height from 4 ft 10 in to 6 ft 6 in, and from 146 to 200 cm, worked out from the BMI band of 18.5 to 24.9 used by the WHO, the CDC and the NHS. The figures are the same for women and men. Use your browser's print button, or the one below, for a one-page copy.

For adults aged 18 and over. General information, not medical advice: BMI does not apply in pregnancy or to children and teenagers, and it cannot tell muscle from fat.

How to read the chart

Healthy range. Weights that give a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9. The ends are rounded inwards, so both stay inside the band.
Overweight from, obesity from. The first whole pound (or tenth of a kilogram) above the healthy range, and the first weight at a BMI of 30 or more.
NICE lower thresholds. For people of South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean background, health risks start at a lower BMI: the NHS and NICE treat 23 to 27.4 as overweight and 27.5 or more as obesity, so the healthy range stops at 22.9.
Not for everyone. BMI cannot tell muscle from fat, should be read with care after 65, and is not used in pregnancy. Children and teenagers are measured against growth charts instead. Adding a waist measurement helps: see waist-to-height ratio.

For a height in between, use the healthy weight calculator. The background is in how much should I weigh for my height? and adult BMI categories.
