Find a reference weight for your height and use BMI to check your healthy weight range
Mainland-China adult BMI reference interval 18.5<=BMI<24 converted to weight; the upper bound is excluded. Midpoint is not ideal weight; same formula for both sexes, not a new 2026 or Japanese standard. Reference
Enter 140–210 cm. Decimals are supported.
Converts the mainland-China adult BMI reference interval 18.5 to below 24 into weight. The formula is identical for both sexes. The upper limit is excluded; display is rounded to one decimal. This is not a new 2026 medical standard.

Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This chart converts a selected height into the weight interval corresponding to the mainland-China adult BMI reference range of 18.5 to below 24. BMI, or body mass index, is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The resulting interval is a mathematical reference for that regional adult classification; it is not a US standard, a personal target, or a diagnosis. The “2026 Edition” page title does not mean the underlying classification is a new 2026 rule.
The calculation is the same regardless of the sex option selected. The midpoint shown is simply halfway between the interval's BMI boundaries. It is not an ideal weight or a recommended goal. The upper boundary is exclusive: BMI 24 is outside the reference interval.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Enter height in centimeters from 140 to 210. Decimal values are accepted, so use your measured height instead of rounding it to a whole centimeter.
Choose either sex option. The selection does not change this BMI-based calculation.
Read the reference interval and its midpoint. The interval represents BMI from 18.5 up to, but not including, 24. The midpoint is a simple arithmetic summary only.
Optionally enter current weight in kilograms to see whether its BMI is below, within, or at/above the interval. This comparison does not display a separate personal BMI number.
Use the nearby-height table as a quick lookup. Its rows use five-centimeter steps around the closest five-centimeter mark; the main result remains based on the exact height entered.
For example, at 170 cm, height in meters is 1.70 and height squared is 2.89. The lower reference weight is 18.5 × 2.89 = 53.465 kg, displayed as 53.5 kg. The upper boundary is 24 × 2.89 = 69.36 kg, displayed to one decimal as 69.4 kg, but that endpoint is excluded. The midpoint is 21.25 × 2.89 = 61.4 kg after rounding. Small differences around the displayed endpoints can result from one-decimal rounding.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
If a report or educational resource uses mainland-China adult BMI categories, enter a height to translate its BMI interval into kilograms. Keep the regional definition attached when sharing or recording the result.
Someone tracking height and weight for personal records can compare a current weight with the same region-specific interval over time. Use consistent measurement conditions and treat changes as context for a broader health discussion, not as a diagnosis.
For an English-speaking reader in the United States, the value of the chart is specifically its China reference. It does not replace the standards or advice used by a clinician in the reader's location.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. It is the arithmetic midpoint of the weights at BMI 18.5 and BMI 21.25, halfway to the excluded BMI-24 boundary. The page does not establish an ideal weight or individualized goal.
The interval is calculated from height and the mainland-China adult BMI boundaries alone. Sex selection does not alter the formula.
It places the entered weight below, within, or at/above this BMI-derived interval. It does not report a separate BMI value or assign a diagnosis.
The chart accepts heights from 140 through 210 cm. Check that the value is in centimeters and within those limits; an empty result is not a weight classification.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This reference uses mainland-China adult BMI categories and may not match guidance used in another jurisdiction. BMI is a screening measure based on height and weight; this chart does not assess body composition, waist measurement, medical history, pregnancy, or an individual's circumstances. It is intended for general adult reference and should not be used to assess children or adolescents. Do not treat the midpoint or a comparison label as a treatment plan or reason for a restrictive diet. For a personal assessment, symptoms, substantial weight changes, or decisions about care, consult a qualified health professional.
