Underweight · 170 cm (5 ft 7 in), 50 kg (110 lb)
How it is calculated
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)² = 50 ÷ (1.70 × 1.70) = 50 ÷ 2.8900 = 17.3.
At 170 cm the healthy-weight range (BMI 18.5–24.9) is 53.5–72.0 kg; 50 kg is 3.5 kg below the healthy range. BMI 22 – the middle of the range – would be 63.6 kg.
