Healthy weight ranges, not single numbers
Based on BMI 18.5 to 24.9 mapped back to weight = BMI x height^2Healthy weight is shown as a range because a single number ignores body composition; muscle, bone, and frame size all shift what is right for you.
The range is a screening guide, not a diagnosis. Athletes and older adults especially should also consider body fat and waist circumference.
Frequently asked questions
Why a range and not one weight?
People of the same height differ in muscle and bone, so a band captures normal variation better than a point.
Is BMI enough?
It is a useful screen but misses body composition; pair it with waist measurement and fitness.
Does the range differ by ethnicity?
Some guidelines use lower cut-offs for certain populations; check local public-health advice.
