How to Convert CM to Feet
There are 2.54 centimetres in 1 inch and 12 inches in 1 foot, so 1 foot is 30.48 cm. To convert your height from centimetres to feet and inches:
- Divide your height in cm by 2.54 to get your height in inches.
- Divide the inches by 12. The whole number is your feet.
- Multiply the leftover decimal by 12 to get the remaining inches.
For example, 165 cm ÷ 2.54 = 64.96 inches. 64.96 ÷ 12 = 5.41, so that is 5 feet, and 0.41 × 12 = 4.96, or about 5 inches. So 165 cm is about 5 feet 5 inches.
How to Convert Feet to CM
Multiply the feet by 12, add the inches, then multiply the total by 2.54. For example, 5 feet 4 inches = (5 × 12) + 4 = 64 inches, and 64 × 2.54 = 162.6 cm.

Why Your Height Matters for Your Health
Most doctors’ forms, gyms and online calculators in Pakistan ask for height in feet and inches, while hospitals, BMI charts and research use centimetres and metres. Knowing both helps you use health tools correctly.
Your height is used to work out your BMI, your ideal weight range and your daily calorie needs. For example, a healthy BMI for a person who is 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm) tall is a weight of about 49 to 66 kg. For South Asians, health risks start rising at a lower BMI of 23, so try to stay in the lower part of that range.

Tips for Measuring Your Height Accurately
- Stand barefoot on a flat floor with your back against a wall.
- Keep your heels, buttocks and shoulders touching the wall and look straight ahead.
- Place a flat object like a book on your head, level with the wall, and mark the wall underneath it.
- Measure from the floor to the mark with a steel tape.
- Measure in the morning: most people are about 1 cm shorter by the evening.
