Average weight

Average weight

Average weight is the amount a person would normally weigh based on their height and age. Many people are interested in knowing the average weight because they would like to find out the ideal weight for their bodies. A person's average weight depends on a number of considerations. In many cases, these factors are unique to the individual. However, models for physical health, and the body mass index (BMI) can provide a range of what someone's ideal weight might be.

About Average weight

For most, this is very difficult because notions of proper weight are created by societal trends and other external influences rather than by actual facts. Every person is different and each body is unique, so there is no way to really determine what the perfect weight is for each of us. If you are truly interested in what your ideal weight should be, consult your doctor.

Body Mass Index, or BMI, is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for children and adults. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend the use of BMI to screen for overweight and obesity in children beginning at two years old.

BMI is used to screen for obesity, overweight, healthy weight, or underweight. However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool. For example, a person may have a high BMI, but to determine if excess fat is a problem, a health care provider would need to perform further assessments. These assessments might include skinfold thickness measurements, evaluations of diet, physical activity, family history, and other appropriate health screenings. Age and gender factor into screenings for children and teens, but not for adults.

As with all diets, it is best to consult a physician first.
