Doctor’s Note
Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
55 kg is a weight that is genuinely healthy for a good proportion of women of shorter to average UK height. At 5ft 4in to 5ft 7in, the BMI at 55 kg falls comfortably in the healthy range. What I appreciate about patients at this weight is that they are usually not presenting with weight-related health concerns. When they do come to see me, it is usually to confirm that a goal weight they have achieved is medically sound. In most cases at this weight, for this height range, it is.
