1.68m Tall, Weighs 48kg, 75cm Chest Measurement, Am I Eligible for Military Service?

Based on Section I of the Classification Standards by Physical Fitness Annex I Classification of Health by Physical Fitness and Diseases issued with the Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, with your case of being 1.68m tall, weighing 48kg, and having a chest circumference of 75cm, your health will be classified as Type 3.

Cases of being overweight or underweight will be considered based on the BMI index, specifically:

- The BMI (Body Mass Index) is the body mass index evaluating the correlation between height and weight:

BMI = Weight (kg) : [Height (m)]^2 (Squared).

The BMI index is considered in cases meeting the physical fitness standards, but there is a disproportion between height and weight: cases with a BMI index ≥ 30 are not accepted.

Here, your BMI index is 17, still assuring this regulation.

Simultaneously, Clause 3 Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP regulates the health standards for military recruitment as follows:

Recruiting citizens with health classifications of type 1, 2, 3 according to the Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP dated June 30, 2016, issued by the Minister of Health - Minister of National Defense, regulating the health examinations for military service.

...

From the above regulations, your physical fitness reaches health classification type 3, and your BMI index is in the permissible range, hence meeting the standard conditions for military service (not considering other conditions).

Sincerely!
