Height and weight chart
Healthy weight here means a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9, for men and women alike. The South Asian figure is a BMI of 22.9, because risk starts earlier in South Asian adults.

Is the chart the same for men and women?
Yes, adult BMI uses the same chart for both. Women usually carry more body fat at the same BMI, and very muscular people can read high. Waist size helps: more than 90 cm in South Asian men or 80 cm in women is linked to higher risk.
