155 pounds is 70.31 kg, and at 5ft 6in that gives a BMI of exactly 24.9 — the top of the NHS/WHO healthy range. In clinical terms this is one of those weights where the category label changes with a single pound. I do not treat a BMI of 24.9 differently to 25.1 in terms of clinical risk. What matters far more is the trend over time and the patient's waist circumference. A stable 155 pounds with good metabolic health indicators is a completely different picture to the same weight in an upward trend with elevated blood pressure.
