Is 5'4 or 5'5 tall or short for a woman?

I am going to assume that you are asking for the ideal weight for a female of 5'4" Using the BMI, and looking for a range from 18.5 to 24.9, the computation follows.


BMI = kg/m²
5'4" = 64" = 1.6256m
18.5 = kg/(1.6256)² ► 48.89kg
24.9 = kg/(1.6256)² ► 65.80kg


According to this, the ideal weight is between 107 and 145 pounds. The range is because of body type. Some women really do have big bones and a heavier frame than others.■
