What is a healthy weight for my height?
A healthy weight for an Indian adult is the weight that gives a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9, the WHO Asia-Pacific range.
- How it is worked out: the calculator multiplies 18.5 and 22.9 by your height in metres, squared.
- Why a range: frame, muscle and age all move where you will feel best within it.

Healthy weight here means a BMI of 18.5 to 22.9, the range for Indians (WHO Asia-Pacific).
How this works
It's the weight that gives a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9, the healthy range for Asian Indians (WHO Asia-Pacific). That's 18.5 and 22.9 multiplied by your height in metres, squared. It's a range on purpose: frame, muscle and age all move where you'll feel best within it.
