Ideal body mass index per height?

The ideal body mass index (BMI) per height can vary slightly depending on various factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, and muscle mass. However, here is a general guideline for the ideal BMI range based on height:

Height Category Ideal BMI Range

- Below 5 feet (152.4 cm): 19-24

- 5 feet to 5 feet 3 inches (152.4-160 cm): 19-25

- 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 7 inches (162.6-170.2 cm): 20-26

- 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches (172.7-180.3 cm): 21-27

- 6 feet and above (182.9 cm and above): 22-28

It is important to note that BMI is just one indicator of overall health and body composition. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and body fat distribution also play a significant role. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine the most appropriate BMI range based on individual circumstances.
