If you're 5'1" what is the average weight for that height?

Question:

Someone told me that 106 lbs is the right weight for someone who is 5'1". Is that true?

Answers:
at LEAST (but not limited to) 105 lbs. this is the ideal body weight we use at hospitals. we calculate it by adding 5 lbs per inch, and start with 100lbs for a 5"0 patient. -- this is for among the females. for males, it's 7lbs per inch.

Other Answers:
yeah more or less

the average weight is about 130-140 okay... so if you are more than 106, that's good!! that means you're not anerexic!

87# for woodpeckers

im 5' and about 110lbs

There is no single weight, because people are not all the same: some have larger bones and some have more muscle mass, etc.

Check this chart:

It will tell you that anywhere from 105 to 120 is OK.

hey. i just visited a doctor recently.. and we started talking about healthy weights and everything.. she said that if your 5 feet tall... 100 pounds or around there is a good weight for you.. every inch after that you add 5 pounds. so since you are 5'1 your weight should be some where around105 pounds. so i guess the answer to you question is yes. but then again.. it matter about your bones, how much muscle you have, and genetics.

Does it effing matter? Just exercise and eat healthy.

its around 110
