Physical Wellness Charts
Body Weight vs. Height
Find your ideal healthy weight using the charts below. To check to see what size frame you are, wrap your thumb and forefinger around one of your wrists. If your fingers overlap, you are a small frame, if they are just barely touching, you are a medium frame, and if there is a gap between your fingers, you are a large frame.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
To calculate your BMI, see the formulas below.
Metric Formula:
(Kilograms and meters) weight (kg) ÷ [height (m)]² Calculate BMI by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters, squared. Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm* (1.65 m) Calculation: 68 ÷ (1.65)² = 24.98 *Divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters. |
Imperial Formula:
(Pounds and inches) weight (lbs.) ÷ [height (in.)]² x 703 Calculate BMI by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches, squared, then multiply by 703. Example: Weight = 150 lbs., Height = 5’5" (65") Calculation: [150 ÷ (65)²] x 703 = 24.96 |
