๐Ÿฉบ Written by Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS

175 pounds is 79.38 kg and represents a point on the BMI scale where I see a lot of active adults, particularly men in their 30s and 40s. For a man of 6ft 0in it gives a BMI of 23.7, healthy and unremarkable. For a man of 5ft 10in the BMI is 25.1, which is technically overweight but only just. At this level, I am more interested in the patient's waist circumference and fitness level than in the BMI figure itself. Two people at 175 pounds can have very different body compositions, and composition matters more than weight alone at this level.
