How this is calculated
Formula: Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas at 5′6″
The preset uses 66 inches (167.6 cm) as height and evaluates multiple equations, each with its own base value and adjustment above five feet.
Results are shown together because these historical equations disagree and were never designed to define appearance or self-worth.
A broad BMI interval can supply additional screening context, but muscle, fat distribution, frame, age, and medical status are not represented.

Frequently asked questions
No one value applies to every 5′6″ adult. Formula estimates and BMI provide broad references, while individual health depends on body composition and other factors.
These values are approximate educational references, not medical targets or diagnoses. A clinician can account for body composition, medications, pregnancy, illness, and personal history before weight change.
