What is the normal weight of a person?

Nowadays, many people have a serious obesity problem due to the improvement of dietary standards. However, many people always think that they are not fat, and some people even feel good about themselves. In fact, people can be fat or thin. If we talk about it according to the standard weight, we can strictly distinguish between fat and thin. But what should be the normal weight of a person?

Standard weight and obesity People can be fat or thin. If you are too light, you are thin, and if you are too heavy, you are fat. So what is the standard to measure whether someone is fat or thin? Of course there must be a reference value, which we call standard weight. At present, there is no unified standard weight data in our country. There are two commonly used calculation methods: One is: Adult: (Height (cm) - 100) * 0.9 = Standard weight (kg) Another is: Male: Height (cm) - 105 = Standard weight (kg), Female: Height (cm) - 100 = Standard weight (kg)

The above two calculation methods have basically been widely adopted. In addition, the Academy of Military Sciences has also introduced a method to calculate the ideal weight of Chinese people: The ideal weight of northerners (kg) = (height in cm - 150) x 0.6 + 50, the ideal weight of southerners (kg) = (height in cm - 150) x 0.6 + 48. This calculation method seems to be more suitable for Chinese people in the north and south. A simple method to calculate the standard weight for children is: 1 to 6 months: birth weight (kg) + 10-month age * 0.6 = standard weight (kg); 7 to 12 months: birth weight (kg) + 10-month age X 0.5 = standard weight (kg); over 1 year old: 8 + age x 2 = standard weight (kg) However, because a person's weight is related to many factors, there are differences between different people and at different times of the same day. In addition, the geographical location (such as due to gravity), season, climate, and personal conditions will also have a certain impact on weight, so it is difficult to completely meet the standard weight.

In other words, it is difficult to express it with a constant value, but rather a numerical range. We call this numerical range the normal value, which is generally within the range of +-10% of the standard body weight. Anything beyond this range is considered abnormal weight. A person whose actual weight exceeds the standard weight but the excess is less than 20% is considered overweight; a person whose actual weight exceeds the standard weight by more than 20% and whose fat percentage (F%) exceeds 30% can be diagnosed with obesity. Those whose weight exceeds the standard weight by 30%-50% and whose F% exceeds 35%-45% are called moderate obesity; those whose weight exceeds the standard weight by more than 50% and whose F% exceeds 45% are called severe obesity.

Generally speaking, a person's normal weight has a lot to do with his age, gender, and region. The above is a reference value introduced by the editor. If you can provide a value exceeding this reference value, you are considered to be overweight. Currently, due to the improvement of dietary conditions, there are more overweight people.
