Healthy Weight Age

Healthy Weight Age
Ideal weight charts or tables have been fashioned over the years to reconcile on if you are overweight, underweight, obese, or morbidly obese. There is a speck of calculating that goes with a little of these charts. Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a role in some of these charts as well. To determine what your BMI is you need to first take your height (in inches) and multiply it by itself, then divide the previous number by your weight and multiply that answer by 703, the result is your BMI.



These charts help you to determine if you are at a health risk because of your weight. In the 40's and 50's there was research conducted that shows there is a connection between age, weight, and gender in relationship to health risk. Of course, these studies have improved over the years and because of these improved studies, ideal weight tables are available for men and women. These tables or charts are able to determine if you are predisposed to serious health risks. These tables do not automatically mean that you are at a health risk if you are not in the normal range, your body type, and frame need to be taken into consideration along with these charts. The ranges on these charts are set to reduce the risk of health issues in the outlook.
