Knowing the ideal weight for age and length

In addition to ideal weight equations, there are many ways that can be used to know the appropriate weight for the length that must be reached, including the following:^(٢)

BMI

BMI for adults

This indicator is calculated by dividing the weight in kilograms on the square of length per meter, and it is a physical scale for assessing the amount of total fat in the body, but it may not be commensurate with some groups and the amount of fats in their bodies well, and among these groups: the elderly, the athletes who have a large muscular structure, and some of the old groups.^(٣)

While the implications of values ​​resulting from the body mass account for adult women and men:^(٤)

Children’s BMI

To determine what is the perfect body mass for children, the natural amount of fats changes in the bodies of children and adolescents depending on age and sex, so the result of their body mass index is not interpreted as in adults; Rather, it is translated into a group of centenary segments in special growth plans for every gender and age (in English: Centers for Disease Control and Preference).^(٥)

These slides are used to classify weights as follows:^(٥)

The waist ratio to length

One of the ways that can help predict the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and deaths more effectively from the body mass index, and calculated by dividing the waist surroundings along the body.^(٦)

If a person’s waist is less than half of its length, that is, the result of the division is 0.5 or less than that; This means that a person is close to a healthy weight, and the risk of developing life -threatening health complications is low.^(٦) This is because the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area and around it is one of the causes of heart, liver, and kidneys.^(٧)

In general, it should be noted that if the waist is more than 101 centimeters later for men, and is more than 88.9 centimeters older than non -pregnant women, this means an increased risk of complications of obesity.^(٦)

The ratio of the waist to the hip

The waist surrounding ratio can be used to the hip ocean to see if a person suffers from overweight, or that he may be exposed to health risks because of this.^(٨)

This ratio is calculated by dividing the waist circumference measurement by measuring the hip circumference; Which helps to determine the amount of fat stored in the waist, hip and buttocks, unlike the body mass index that compares weight with length only without determining the area of ​​fat gathering, and through the scale of the waist surroundings to the surroundings of the hip can assess the risk of heart disease and other health problems.^(٩)

The following table shows the possibility of health risks based on the values ​​resulting from this scale:^(٨)

The percentage of fat in the body

Bodies and the fats and muscles they contain are different based on several factors; Including the lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and because of the different weight of fat from one person to another, and the different weight of body fat from the weight of its muscles; The indicators that depend on body weight only in determining the amount of fats in it as a body mass indicator may not give precise results in some people.^(٢)

It should be noted that there are many more accurate ways to estimate the percentage of fat in the body by using one of the computers on the Internet that require measuring both body weight, length, hip environment, waist surroundings, forearm surroundings, and wrist surroundings, and a doctor or personal trainer can be visited to know this, in addition to the possibility of using special tools to measure the thickness of fats in certain areas of the body Calipers.^(٢)

There is also a more advanced way; Like some sensors that broadcast an electric current across the body to calculate the percentage of fat in it,^(٢) After knowing the percentage of fat in the body, it can be compared to the following table to see if the percentage of fat is normal, healthy or excessive, and humiliated with the consultation of age difference:^(١٠)

As it becomes clear from the previous table, the percentage of fat in the body increases naturally as the age increases, and the percentage of fat in women is higher than men, and it is worth noting that the body fat is divided into two types, namely:^(١٠)

• Basic fat; Which plays a role in many body functions and is essential for survival.
• Stored fat; It protects the internal organs in the regions of the abdomen and chest, and the body uses it to provide energy when necessary.

People are classified according to the percentage of fat in their bodies to several categories, based on the recommendations of the American Countil on Exercise,^(٦) The less fat in the body, the more physical fitness is more fit, and the clarification of this comes:^(١١)

How to reach a healthy weight

A person’s weight can be affected by many different factors; Like the surrounding environment, behavior or habits, genes and family history, and the way the body turns food and oxygen into energy, which is called metabolism.^(١٢)

In general, the healthy way to reach the ideal weight is to follow a healthy diet, and if a person suffers from obesity or weight gain; It is preferable to reduce 500 calories of daily calories, increase physical activity, and reduce the time to relax.^(١٢)

If a person suffers from a lack of weight, he will do the opposite; It is preferable to increase the number of calories eaten daily; This is through a balanced diet, in addition to eating snacks nutritious between the main meals and the choice of high -fat species such as full -fat milk, until it reaches the ideal weight for it, as weight deficiency can lead to a lack of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that the body needs to maintain its health.^(١٣)

How do I maintain a healthy weight? To maintain a healthy weight, it is necessary to balance the number of calories that enter the body by eating and drinking, and the number of calories the body uses to carry out breathing, digestion, physical activities, etc., and it is not required to achieve a complete balance between them every day but rather achieve it over a period of time.^(١٢)

Common questions about the ideal weight

The following questions show the ideal body measurements for both men and women:

What is the ideal weight for a woman

As mentioned earlier, the ideal weight of women can be calculated through the following equation:^(١)

Ideal weight per kilogram = 45 + 0.9 x (length per centimeter − 150 centimeters)

What is the perfect weight for a man

As mentioned earlier, the ideal weight of a man can be calculated through the following equation:^(١)

Ideal weight per kilogram = 48 + 1.1 x (length per centimeter − 150 centimeters)

What is the concept of ideal weight

The ideal weight of a certain length is associated with the expected age,^(١٤) It is also not possible to say that every person has one ideal weight, as this is affected by many factors; Light, gender, body composition and the fats and muscles it contains, the size of the structure, etc.^(٦) There is no doubt about the importance of reaching and preserving healthy weight, as it can help prevent many diseases and contribute to controlling them.^(٢) In addition to its importance for the health of the body in general, while the risk of serious health problems increases; Like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure in people with overweight or obese.^(١٢)
