The height to weight ratio chart is a traditional way to determine how much you should weigh according to your height. The chart gives you the right weight range according to your height.

Since a person’s body weight changes with age and continuously increases until his/her age reaches up to 70 years and his/her weight starts decreasing at the age of 70 or above. [1]

Additionally, a person’s ideal body weight according to the height can be calculated by using the following equation: [2]

  • Men: IBW (Kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (Ht – 60 inches)
  • Women: IBW (Kg) = 45.5 + 2.3 * (Ht – 60 inches)

OR

  • Men: IBW (lb) = 106 + 6 * (Ht – 60 inches)
  • Women: IBW (lb) = 100 + 5 * (Ht – 60 inches)

Where Ht is the height of a person and should be >= 60 inches.

If you have excess body weight, it causes a decrease in metabolism and your fat and muscle composition. As a result, it leads to a number of health conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes high blood pressure, and cancer incident.

Interpretation of Height to Weight Ratio Chart

Underweight

If your weight is below the defined ratio range then you are underweight.

Being underweight is not a good sign for your health and it tells you are not eating enough or you are ill.

If you are underweight, you are at risk of the following health issues:

  • Weak immune function
  • Osteoporosis
  • Infertility
  • Malnutrition
  • Hair loss
  • Anemia
  • Slow growth and development

So, it is essential to aim for healthy weight in order to avoid the above health complications. For this, following a balanced diet chart and including a daily active life is crucial.

Healthy Weight

If you are within the defined ration range that means you have a healthy weight.

To maintain a healthy ratio range it is still important to follow a balanced diet. Including physical activities such as running, swimming or cycling, playing sports, walking, taking the stairs instead of the elevator for at least 150 minutes per week will help to maintain a healthy weight. [3]

Overweight or Obese

If you are above the defined ration range that means you are overweight or obese.

Obesity may put you at the risk of many health complications such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers (endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon), osteoarthritis, and infertility. [4]

Effective weight loss strategies such as diets, portion, physical activity, and participation in a weight-management program will bring your weight in a healthy range.

How to Measure Body Fat?

If you are not an athlete or muscular person, then Body Mass Index tool can help you to find out your total body fat.

What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is the simplest and the most widely used statistical index for measuring body fatness in males and females of any age.

It is calculated by dividing body weight (in Kg) by height (in square meters).

The number generated is the BMI of an individual and provides whether that individual has a normal weight in proportion to his/her height.

On the basis of BMI obtained, the following categories can be established: [5]

  • Severely underweight – BMI less than 16.5
  • Underweight – BMI under 18.5
  • Normal weight – BMI greater than or equal to 18.5 to 24.9
  • Overweight – BMI greater than or equal to 25 to 29.9
  • Obesity – BMI greater than or equal to 30
  • Obesity class I – BMI 30 to 34.9
  • Obesity class II – BMI 35 to 39.9
  • Obesity class III – BMI greater than or equal to 40

Body Mass Index Calculator

You can find your BMI with a simple calculator using your height and weight.

Calculate Your BMI

Your BMI is

Adjustment for Obesity

If you are obese and your weight is 30% more than your ideal weight then a correction is required. For this, you have to use Adjusted Body Weight (ABW) formulae.

 

ABW = Ideal Body Weight + 0.4 x (actual body weight – Ideal Body Weight)

 

The ABW value will tell you the energy required to lose weight. It will also prevent you from over or underestimation of the need for nutrition to achieve a healthy BMI.

For Example – let’s say your weight is 97 kgs and you are 185 centimeters tall.

So, your ideal body weight would be 79.5.

And according to the ABW formulae, your ABW will be 86.5. Now, you have to assume yourself as you are weighing 86.5, and plan your daily diet accordingly to achieve a healthy BMI.
