Ideal Weight

Calculation of Ideal Weight

Most of the tables of our peso note is normal weight, but this band is recommended that weight is between thinness and overweight, does not correspond to an aesthetic standard, but rather a purely medical.

Besides looking at the size in height and age should be taken into account the physical constitution or complexion of the body, which can have 3 different types:

1. Small Constitution: narrow shoulders, legs and trunk muscles and fine

2. Median Constitution: Musculature half the members and well trained. Your height is the maximum opening of the arms.

3. Big Constitution: of low stature, with a square and a tendency to obesity.

To measure your ideal weight, is used BMI (body mass index). It is one of the most effective methods used to calculate the ideal weight.

      Make this equation: With a calculator, translates the height square meters. If 1.65 m tall multiply by itself, it 2.72. Now divide your weight by the previous amount.

For example, if weight 52 kg, would be: 52 / 2.79 = 19.11

This figure would be the BMI.

BMI = weight / height 2

Normal Values:

BMI <16                Malnutrition

BMI = 17-20         Low weight

BMI <25                Normal weight

BMI> 27,5-30       Moderately overweight

BMI = 30-35          Obesity

BMI> 35                 Morbid obesity

The waist-hip ratio:

The contour of the waist also gives us a clue to calculate the ideal weight.

With the calculator, measure the contour of the waist and brace; do the same with that of the hip. Suppose that the result is 69 and 88.

Divide the first number by the second. It 0.78

If this figure is between 0,64-0,85 okay provided.
