The height number 5’9 is a good height and corresponds to it. The ideal weight distribution is also very high. Let’s find out the secret of the ideal weight range of 5’9 height. Let’s go.
Surely you all know that for each height number, there will be a specific ideal weight range or a number, and when you come to this article, maybe you’re looking to find out if your weight is your ideal weight or if it’s out of that range and then figures out how to deal with it. That’s why I’m here and will answer that question and worry for you.
I think you have a very good height, and whether you are a man or a woman, you are considered tall because the number 5’9 is higher or equal to the average height of the entire US today, and you are among them. There are indeed many people who wish to have a height figure of 5’9 to be more prominent, more suitable in positions, better rated, etc. You will be proud of this only.

As I mentioned above, each height figure will have an ideal weight range. At this time, the weight range will be distributed in a rising mountain pattern. The highest part is also the appropriate weight (ideal weight) for the corresponding height, and the further you go to the sides, the lower it will be, and the ideal weight will be less until an upper limit and limit lower term. That’s the outermost ideal weight point around. And to make it easier for you to understand, let me start right now.
What Is The Ideal Weight of 5’9?

In order to know the ideal weight range or assess the weight within the ideal weight range, first, I will tell you about an indicator that helps to assess your weight, whether you are too thin or too fat, and then next will be the ideal weight range that you are looking forward to.
Relationship between BMI and Ideal weight

This index is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and has an extremely low error rate, and it tells you whether the relationship between weight and height is stable or too fat, or too thin. Let me tell you a fact that I have based on this index to calculate the ideal weight range for you. The formula for calculating this index is also extremely simple, and you just need to determine your height and weight to calculate your BMI.
Formula to calculate BMI:
BMI = (Weight)/(Height x Height)
In there:
– Weight: kilogram (kg)
– Height: meter (m).
For example, if you are 5’9 tall (about 1m75) and weigh 70 kg, your BMI will be BMI = 70 / (1.75 x 1.75) = 22.86.
With such results, you will use the BMI table for men when you are male or for women when you are female. Because men and women will have different body mass and volume, there will be two tables of obesity for both men and women. The BMI table I will refer to you shortly.
Table of obesity index (BMI) for both men and women.
Level of obesity | – | BMI for men | BMI for women |
Too thin | – | < 20 | < 18 |
Normal | – | 20 – 24.9 | 18 – 23 |
Obesity risk | – | 25 – 29.9 | 23 – 29.9 |
Obesity | Grade 1 obesity | 30 – 34.9 | 30 – 34.9 |
Obesity | Grade 2 obesity | 35 – 39.9 | 35 – 39.9 |
Obesity | Grade 3 obesity (warning). | > 40 | > 40 |
If you are male, you will compare with the ratings in the table. Specifically, if your BMI is 22.86, as above, you will be in the normal range. This also considers you to have an ideal weight figure.
If you were female, you would compare your BMI with the table above. For example, your weight and height, as in the example above, your BMI is 22.86. At this point, you are also in the normal range (18 – 23). Just like that, you will calculate your own BMI and compare it with the assessment table above.
The ideal weight of the two sexes is different because of the difference in body mass and volume. To calculate the ideal weight of men and women will need to go through the average ideal weight for both sexes and, from there, will find the ideal weight of both sexes.
To calculate the average weight of both sexes, the Japanese use a formula called Bruck. It is calculated by taking the height (in centimeters) and then subtracting 100, how much we multiply by 0.9:
Average weight = (Height in centimeters – 100) x 0.9.
For example, I want to calculate the average weight of both sexes according to the height of 5’9. The first thing that you need to know is what is the height in centimeters of 5’9. For 5’9, it will be equivalent to about 175.26 cm, and the next job is that you will replace it.
Average weight = (175.26 – 100) x 0.9 = 67.734 (kg).
To find your ideal weight, you can use the healthy weight calculator offered by Hood MWR, which calculates how much you should weigh based on your gender, height, age, and activity level. This tool also tells you the recommended daily calorie intake to maintain your weight, lose weight, or gain weight. The ideal weight is often determined by BMI, but it’s best to consult a healthcare professional to get a tailored plan that accounts for your unique body composition and health goals.
How to calculate the ideal weight for 5ft9 men?
Above I also got an average weight of 67,734 (about 148 pounds), so next, the ideal weight for men will also be found by I add 5 pounds to the 148 pounds and getting 153 pounds (5 + 148 = 153). Right now, 153 pounds is the ideal weight for men, and it’s great if you have exactly 153 pounds. And if your weight is not equal, different, and deviates much from 153, don’t worry. As I said, every height has an ideal weight range, and now I’m going to find that range. Who knows, maybe you’re in that range.
The existence of this weight range is also due largely to the difference in body mass and bone volume. There is a difference between men and women, and men are slightly more volatile than women. That weight range would range from 141 pounds (because I took 153 minus 12) to 164 (because I took 153 plus 12). So now that range will be (141 Ibs – 164 Ibs).
Sex | Height (ft) | Ideal weight (Ibs) |
Men | 5’9 | 141 – 164 |
How to calculate the ideal weight for 5/9 women?
For women, I will not add, but I will subtract 4 pounds, and this will be 144 pounds. Since the ideal weight distribution for women is slightly less variable than for men, I will add and subtract 11 pounds to 144 pounds, and now the ideal weight range for women will start at 133 pounds and end at 155 pounds.
Sex | Height (ft) | Ideal weight (Ibs) |
Women | 5’9 | 133 – 155 |
If you have an ideal weight in this range, then you are in good shape. But the numbers are very rigid, and they can only change when the person himself changes, and the human body is extremely complex and diverse, so trusting the numbers in the field completely. In this case, I advise you not to. The best choice is that you should receive comments from people around you and look at yourself in the mirror to see if this is the body you are dreaming of or not.
Age Distribution
Usually, each height will correspond to a different age, which is on average. But it is also possible that at a particular height, there will also be many different ages reached. Specifically, with a height of 5’9. How old were you when you reached this height? Sometimes, due to genetics, your height can only reach a certain number that cannot exceed 5’9, but sometimes you reach 5’9 very early.
Age distribution for 5’9 Men
For men, it will be earlier to reach the number 5’9 than for women. According to information from WHO, on average, by about 16 to 17 years old, men can reach a height of 5’9 (about 1m75). But there are many cases where you have a height of 5’9 since the age of 13. So, the height of 5’9 would, on average, be distributed between the ages of 16 and 17 in American men.
Sex | Age distribution for 5’9 (age) |
Men | 16 – 17 |
It is important to maintain a healthy weight based on your height. For a 5’7 tall person, the ideal weight range is between 121-153 pounds for women and 123-163 pounds for men. If you fall outside of this range, you may be at risk for health issues. Check out average height and weight chart for teens to see how your weight compares to others in your age group.
Age distribution for 5’9 Women
For women, the ability to reach 5’9 height will be later, and then it is not average anymore. By that, I mean that there will still be cases of women growing and reaching 5’9 height at a very young age, but this number is also very low. When considered on average, it is impossible to achieve a height of 5’9 in women. In another development, when it reaches a height of 5’9, it will be stable over the years and change a little (higher). According to measurements obtained from WHO, when the female height reaches 5’9, there will be less change in height and almost no.
Recommended Weight for Height 5/9
Obesity and being underweight are very common nowadays, and it is a concern for many people. And even more special when you have a height of 5’9. When your height is higher, and you are classified as obese, it will be even more terrible when the amount of fat in the body is too large. And if you are tall but still thin or called underweight or undernourished, then I can imagine you as a walking pillar. To deal with this situation, I have a few useful tips for you.
To determine the ideal weight for height 5’9”, you can use an ideal weight calculator. This tool takes into consideration factors such as age, gender, and body type to estimate a healthy weight range based on your height. It is important to note that individual situations can vary based on factors such as muscle mass, bone density, and overall health.
Change your eating habits.

– When you are too thin, the most useful advice for you is to eat a lot of food. Normally, you eat three meals a day, but from now on, eat 4-5 meals a day to increase the number of nutrients in the body. You need to add fat, protein, and starch, but you can’t lack fiber. But if you have stomach problems (eating a lot and still being thin), then see your doctor to examine and find out the cause.
– If you are too fat, eating scientifically will be indispensable for you. Follow a scientific diet and add fiber such as vegetables, tubers, and fruits plus eat less starch and fat to avoid increasing excess fat.
In addition to eating scientifically, exercising or playing sports is very necessary to improve health, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and also have a refreshing spirit.
The Bottom Lines
In general, weight and height are two important quantities for the body. If only one of the two is good, the body is not in balance leading to disease. When these two indicators are compatible, our body is in the best state.
The numbers I mentioned above are all very rigid and depend on your own changes, so to change these numbers, you first need to change yourself. And don’t believe the numbers too much, but look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if this is what you expected. And the last thing I want is for you to always be happy and happy with yourself right now.
