Healthy Weight Chart
There are two ways to think about weight: One is how it
influences your looks. Another is how it
influences your health. A healthy weight meets three conditions:
1.Your weight falls within the range on the table below:
|
Weight
without clothes: |
| Height |
19-34 years |
35 years and over |
5'0" |
97-128 |
108-138 |
| 5'2" |
104-137 |
115-148 |
| 5'4" |
111-146 |
122-157 |
| 5'6" |
118-155 |
130-167 |
| 5'8" |
125-164 |
138-178 |
| 5'10" |
132-174 |
146-188 |
| 6'0" |
140-184 |
155-199 |
| 6'2" |
148-195 |
164-210 |
| 6'4" |
156-205 |
173-222 |
2.Your waist measure is smaller than your hip measure. Too much fat
around the waist is believed to be a greater health risk than excess fat in the hips and
thighs.
3.Your doctor has advised you not to gain or lose weight because of medical problem.
If your weight is not “healthy”, set reasonable weight goals and try for
long-term success through better eating habits and more exercise.
