Ideal weight for women and men at 147 cm

The classic ideal-body-weight formulas (Robinson, Miller, Devine, Hamwi) start at 5 feet (152.4 cm), so they do not give a figure at 147 cm. Use the healthy BMI range above instead — it applies to women and men alike.

147 cm in feet and inches

147 cm is 4′9.9″ — 57.9 inches in total, or about 4′10″ rounded to the nearest inch. To convert, divide centimetres by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12 for feet: 147 ÷ 2.54 = 57.9 in, which is 4 ft and 9.9 in. A healthy weight at this height is 40 kg–53.8 kg, or 88 lb–119 lb.

How BMI is worked out at 147 cm

Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. 147 cm is 1.47 m, and 1.47² is 2.1609, so at this height BMI = weight ÷ 2.1609. For example, 55 kg ÷ 2.1609 = 25.5. The table above does this for every whole kilogram.

The categories are the World Health Organization's adult ranges. Some guidelines use lower cut-offs for people of South Asian, Chinese and other Asian backgrounds — overweight from a BMI of 23 (49.7 kg at this height) — because health risks rise at a lower BMI. BMI does not tell muscle from fat, so also check your waist-to-height ratio: at 147 cm, keep your waist under 73.5 cm.
