165 pounds sits very close to the overweight threshold for adults of average UK height. At 5ft 6in the BMI is 26.5, which is overweight, but only just. In practice I would not regard a BMI of 26.5 as a significant clinical concern unless there are other risk factors. At 5ft 8in the BMI is exactly 25.0, right on the boundary. One or two pounds in either direction could shift the category, which is why I prefer to discuss a range rather than a single figure.
