BMI at 5'1"
Every weight from 40 kg to 110 kg at 5 feet 1 inch, plotted on both published scales and then listed in full.
Healthy weight range · Asian-Indian scale
44.4–55.0kg
At 5'1" (154.9 cm), the healthy weight range on the Asian-Indian scale is 44.4 kg to 55.0 kg — BMI 18.5 to 22.9. Overweight begins at 55.2 किलो and the obese action point is 66.0 किलो. It is a window, not a target: every kilogram inside it is a defensible place for a body to sit.
On the standard WHO scale the same height gives a healthy range up to 59.8 किलो, with overweight from 60.0 किलो and obesity from 72.0 किलो.

At 5'1", the outlined window is the healthy range on the Asian-Indian scale: 44.4 – 55.0 kg. The shaded columns are where the two rulebooks return different verdicts for the same body — 55.2 ते 60.0 किलो आणि 66.0 ते 72.0 किलो at this height.
Sources: WHO Expert Consultation on BMI in Asian populations, The Lancet 2004 (action points 23.0 and 27.5); WHO retained the international classification at 25 and 30. Weights are those cutoffs at 154.9 cm.

How the Asian-Indian reading is derived
- Height is converted to metres. 154.9 cm becomes 1.5494 m.
- BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. The formula contains no sex, age or ethnicity term.
- The result is read against two published band sets. The Asian-Indian action points (23.0 and 27.5) come from the WHO expert consultation for Asian populations; the international classification (25 and 30) was deliberately retained by the same consultation.
- Healthy weight is reported as a range, never a single figure: the BMI 18.5 and 22.9 bounds are each multiplied by height squared.
- Where the two band sets return different verdicts, the gap is shaded in the diagram and stated in kilograms rather than left implied.
healthy weight = 18.5 x (1.55)^2 ... 22.9 x (1.55)^2 = 44.4 kg ... 55.0 kg
