Ideal weight for women and men at 4′10″
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 4′10″. Use the healthy BMI range above instead — it applies to women and men alike.
How BMI is worked out at 4′10″
4′10″ is 58 inches. In US units, BMI = 703 × weight in pounds ÷ height in inches squared, and 58² = 3,364. So 125 lb gives 703 × 125 ÷ 3,364 = 26.1. The table does this for every 5 pounds.
The categories are the World Health Organization's adult ranges, used by the CDC. BMI does not tell muscle from fat, so also check your waist-to-height ratio: at 4′10″, keep your waist under 29 inches. For an exact weight, use the BMI calculator, which takes pounds or kilograms and feet or centimetres.
