cm = ft in
Displayed values are rounded for readability, but the arithmetic uses the full precision of the internationally defined factors, an inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a foot is exactly 12 inches, so converting back and forth will not drift.

BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis, and it says nothing on its own about how healthy you are. It does not know how much of you is muscle, and the thresholds are lower for some family backgrounds. What your BMI does and does not say.
The values either side
A centimetre either way changes the inches, and heights get recorded inconsistently enough that it is worth checking both.
For the conversion in the other direction, see feet to cm. To put this height to work, the healthy weight calculator gives the range for it, and the BMI calculator takes your own weight against it.
