Doctor's Note - Written by Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
175 pounds is 79.38 kg and 12 stone 7 pounds. At 5ft 6in the BMI is 28.1, overweight. At 6ft 0in the BMI is 23.7, healthy. For most adults in the 5ft 8in to 5ft 10in range, 175 pounds sits just above the healthy threshold. What I find more clinically useful than the category label at this weight is the trend - whether this is a stable long-term weight or a recent gain from a lower level. A stable 175 lbs with good metabolic markers tells a different story to the same weight arrived at over two years of gradual increase.
