How do you calculate a person’s normal weight?

When people are overweight, they may induce many diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Therefore, once people are overweight, they will take some measures to lose weight. If you are fat, you will know very clearly that you are overweight. Some people are relatively slim, but because they don’t know how to calculate normal weight, they don’t know whether their weight is overweight.

Simple calculation

aldult:

Male (height - 80)×0.7(kg)

Female (height - 70)×0.6(kg)

Standard weight + 10% is within the normal range; overweight 20% is mild obesity; overweight 50% is severe obesity.

In addition to the above calculation standard, we must also consider whether the bones are thick, whether the muscles are well-developed, and the thickness and distribution of fat.

Exact calculation method

"Northerners" living north of the Yangtze River: Ideal weight (kg) =  height (cm) - 150 × 0.6 + 50

"Southerners" living south of the Yangtze River: Ideal weight (kg) =  height (cm) - 150 × 0.6 + 48

Weight > 30-50% of standard weight is moderate obesity

Weight > 50% of standard weight is considered severe obesity

BMI body mass index calculation method

The BMI calculation formula published by the World Health Organization (WHO) is:

BMl = weight (kg) / height (m)2

BMl < 18.5 is thin; BMl between 18.5 and 24.9 is normal; BMl ≥ 25 is overweight; BMl between 25 and 29.9 is normal.

BMl>30-34.9 is grade 2 obesity; BMl>35-39.9 is grade 3 obesity; BMl>40 is grade 4 obesity.

If you still don't know whether your weight is overweight, you can calculate your weight according to the method described above. You may find that you don't look very fat, but you are still overweight. For your own health, you need to control your diet and exercise actively to get your weight back to normal.
