Ideal weight for women and men at 152 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 152 cm. Use the healthy BMI range above instead — it applies to women and men alike.

152 cm in feet and inches

152 cm is 4′11.8″ — 59.8 inches in total, or about 5′0″ rounded to the nearest inch. To convert, divide centimetres by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12 for feet: 152 ÷ 2.54 = 59.8 in, which is 4 ft and 11.8 in. A healthy weight at this height is 42.7 kg–57.5 kg, or 94 lb–127 lb.

How BMI is worked out at 152 cm

Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. 152 cm is 1.52 m, and 1.52² is 2.3104, so at this height BMI = weight ÷ 2.3104. For example, 59 kg ÷ 2.3104 = 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 (53.1 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 152 cm, keep your waist under 76 cm. To enter an exact weight in kg or lb with your height in cm or feet, use the BMI calculator.
