Unit converter
Convert lb ↔ kg and cm ↔ in for everyday body measurements. Not a medication dosing tool.

170.0 cm ≈ 5 ft 6.9 in
This converter is for everyday body measurements only. It is not a medication dosing tool.
What this result means
This converter helps with everyday body measurements: pounds ↔ kilograms and centimeters ↔ inches. Accurate measurement literacy supports BMI, hydration, and other educational tools.
It is intentionally not a medication dosing calculator. Drug dosing requires clinician/pharmacist processes, labeled concentrations, and patient-specific factors.
How we calculate it
- 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms.
- 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
- Height can be viewed as total inches or feet + inches.
Limitations
- Rounding can create tiny differences versus clinical scales.
- Does not convert medication units (mg, mL, mcg).
- Does not validate whether a weight/height pair is clinically appropriate.
