189 cm in feet and inches

189 cm is 6′2.4″ — 74.4 inches in total, or about 6′2″ rounded to the nearest inch. To convert, divide centimetres by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12 for feet: 189 ÷ 2.54 = 74.4 in, which is 6 ft and 2.4 in. A healthy weight at this height is 66.1 kg–88.9 kg, or 146 lb–196 lb.

How BMI is worked out at 189 cm

Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. 189 cm is 1.89 m, and 1.89² is 3.5721, so at this height BMI = weight ÷ 3.5721. For example, 91 kg ÷ 3.5721 = 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 (82.2 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 189 cm, keep your waist under 94.5 cm. To enter an exact weight in kg or lb with your height in cm or feet, use the BMI calculator.
