Healthy Weight Range for 22-Year-Old Asian Male (175 cm / 5'9")
Using CDC BMI guidelines adjusted for Asian populations (increased cardiometabolic risk at lower BMI):
- Healthy BMI Range: 18.5–22.9 kg/m² (vs. 18.5–24.9 standard).
- Weight Range at 175 cm: 56.7 – 70.1 kg (125 – 154 lbs).
The previously cited 63–73 kg aligns with the upper end of the standard range but exceeds the Asian-specific upper limit of 22.9. Individual factors (muscle mass, frame size, body composition) matter more than BMI alone. Focus on waist circumference (<90 cm for Asian men), fitness, and metabolic markers.
