APPENDIX A (Weight to Height Table) to Regulation 40-1 (Physical Examination and Standards of Physical Fitness)Weight to Height Table1. Height is measured in stocking feet without shoes or boots, standing on a flat surface with the chinparallel to the floor. The body should be straight but not rigid, similar to the position of attention. Themeasurement will be rounded as follows:a. If the fraction is less than ½ inch, round down to the next whole number.b. If the fraction is more than ½ inch, round up to the next whole number.2. Weight is measured and recorded to the nearest pound following these guidelines:a. If the fraction is less than ½ pound, round down to the next whole number.b. If the fraction is more than ½ pound, round up to the next whole number.3. This chart is designed for weight measurements taken in a standard PT uniform (gym shorts and T-shirt; without shoes). Alternatively, measurements may be taken in a standard Class C uniform (BDU)consisting of blouse, trousers, belt, undershirt, underwear, and socks without boots. In this case, subtract4½ pounds from the measured weight to calculate the soldier’s equivalent weight.4. For soldiers over 80 inches, add 6 pounds per inch for males and 5 pounds per inch for females to calculatetable weights.Height Male Female(ininches) Age Age17-2021-2728-39 40+17-2021-2728-39 40+58 x x x x 141 144 148 15259 x x x x 145 145 152 15760 167 171 174 177 149 153 157 16161 171 175 180 182 153 158 161 16562 177 180 184 187 189 163 167 17263 181 185 190 193 163 168 172 17764 187 191 195 198 198 172 177 18165 192 196 201 203 172 177 181 18566 198 201 206 209 177 182 187 19167 203 208 209 213 181 185 191 19668 209 213 219 221 187 191 196 20269 214 219 224 229 191 195 201 20670 220 225 230 233 196 201 206 21271 225 230 235 239 201 205 211 21672 231 236 242 245 205 211 216 22373 240 242 248 251 211 216 222 22974 246 249 254 258 218 223 230 23575 249 255 261 264 223 229 235 24276 255 261 268 271 230 235 242 24977 262 268 274 278 234 241 248 25478 268 274 281 284 240 246 253 26079 274 281 288 291 245 252 259 26680 280 286 294 298 251 258 264 272A-1
