Puzzleing question: The data available in the US,from both body mass index and CDC growth standards show a young adult female at 164cm(64.5 in) to have a desired weight of 58kg and a healthy range of 53-62 kg.There are some obvious differences when comparing populations from different countries.By Us standards you would be considered underweight.see www.cdc.gov/growthcharts
