Ideal weight for women and men at 4′11″
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′11″. Use the healthy BMI range above instead — it applies to women and men alike.
How BMI is worked out at 4′11″
4′11″ is 59 inches. In US units, BMI = 703 × weight in pounds ÷ height in inches squared, and 59² = 3,481. So 130 lb gives 703 × 130 ÷ 3,481 = 26.3. 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′11″, keep your waist under 29.5 inches. For an exact weight, use the BMI calculator, which takes pounds or kilograms and feet or centimetres.
