Really? It's not dependent on height at all then? Because I weigh over 50 kg, probably around 58, but I am 1 m 80 tall, so I'm a little underweight. I understood that would be a problem. [/QUOTE]Yes, it seems weird to me too. I would think using BMI or similar would be more useful. I mean, I weigh under 50kg but I think if you stood us together I would look a fair bit meatier than you would because you're a lot taller than me. (Although BMI isn't the be all and end all either - it usually puts me as slightly underweight too, which I don't agree with at all). I would think that being underweight relative to height would be more meaningful than just weight alone - I can't think that I would be too frail to give blood.
