Doctor's Note - Written by Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
49 kg is a weight where context matters enormously before I form any clinical view. For a woman of 5ft 0in with a BMI of 21.2, this is a perfectly healthy weight and not something I would comment on. For a woman of 5ft 5in, the same weight gives a BMI of approximately 18.1 - underweight - and I would want to know whether this is longstanding or recent, what the dietary intake looks like, and whether there are any symptoms. The 1 kg gap below 50 kg also means I often see patients who are tracking a goal of 49 kg as a target - and I always want to understand whether that goal is appropriate for their height.
49 kg is 1 kg below the 50 kg milestone - and the healthy boundary shifts between them
50 kg is healthy up to approximately 5ft 4in (BMI 18.8). 49 kg is only healthy up to 5ft 2in (BMI 19.9). The 1 kg difference between 49 kg and 50 kg shifts the upper healthy height by two inches. At 5ft 4in, 50 kg gives BMI 18.8 (healthy); 49 kg gives BMI 18.4 (underweight). For anyone of 5ft 3in or 5ft 4in using 49 or 50 kg as a target weight, this 1 kg difference determines whether the target is clinically healthy or below the healthy threshold.
