Table of height and weight of an adult woman. How is BMI determined?

Many modern girls follow the figure, try to be fit and slim. To determine the normal ratio of height and weight parameters, it is necessary to know the norms and adhere to them, regulating body weight with nutrition and regular physical training.

Scientific minds have long invented a formula that determines excess or lack of weight. This is BMI. This abbreviation stands for Body Mass Index. According to this calculation, the main indicators of the human body are evaluated.

The ratio of height and weight in a girl is necessary not only to determine beauty. Knowing how this formula works, you can suspect problems with the body or, conversely, not think about possible risks.

What should be the ratio of height and weight

The formula is a road sign that shows whether life is moving in the right direction. Or maybe it's time for a change.

Table of the ratio of height and weight in girls

There is an opinion that the optimal weight for a person is the one that was in his youth. But we should not forget that every year of life the human body does not get younger. The amount of muscle mass decreases, the fat layer increases. And if you take the Quetelet formula (BMI) as the correct criterion for determining weight, then you can be very wrong.

The correct calculation of this index can be affected by both the type of physique and the amount of muscle and body fat in the body.

How to start determining the correct proportions of the body

The ratio of height and weight in girls in the modern world is very different even from those that were 20-30 years ago. Today, the beauty of the female physique is determined by: height, proportions of the upper body and lower extremities. But all numbers are relative.

To determine the parameters of your body, you need to take several measurements:

Also, in addition, measurements of the neck, shoulders, hips, calf muscles, and chest are made. Together, all these indicators determine the proportionality of the physique.

How to measure height correctly

With age, growth also undergoes changes. Firstly, in the morning a person’s height is always 1-2 cm higher than in the evening. This is due to the fact that the body relaxes and stretches during sleep. Secondly, the growth of a person at 50 years old will not be the same as it was 20 years ago. Therefore, there is a need to make new measurements at regular intervals.

To properly measure your height, you need to take an assistant and a hard meter. The measuring tape should be left for measuring waist volumes.

In this position, at the top of the head (crown), the assistant needs to put a mark on the wall. Moreover, measurements are carried out strictly parallel to the floor. Measuring the distance from the top point to the bottom - there is growth. Every woman or girl is different.

To say that someone is more beautiful is impossible. But there are categories of female growth:

• "inch" - height up to 155 cm;
• below average height - 155-165 cm;
• girls of average height - 165-170 cm;
• above average height - 170-175 cm;
• tall girls - 175-185 cm;
• too tall or tall - 185 and above.

Body Types

The main body classification includes three types - these are asthenic, normosthenic and hypersthenic (endomorphic appearance).

• Asthenic physique

The ratio of height and weight in girls with this type of figure is characterized by general leanness and graceful upper and lower limbs. Usually their height is 167-172 cm. Girls with this type of figure are very light, thin, elegant. They do not tend to gain excess weight.

• Normstenic girls

A distinctive feature of this type of physique is the proportionality of the figure. These women are usually of average height and have a very harmonious physique. With age, they can gain 2-3 kg of excess weight.

This is a strong, stocky female body type. Usually below average height. They have a broad chest and broad shoulders. Girls with such a physique are usually prone to gaining excess weight.

To determine your body type, you need to know height, leg length and wrist size:

1. Asthenics- legs are 7-8 cm longer than ½ height. The circumference of the wrist is less than 15 cm.
2. Normostenics- legs are 3-5 cm longer than ½ height. Wrist girth 15.5 -18 cm.
3. Endomorphs- the legs are a couple of cm longer than ½ height. The circumference of the wrist is more than 18 cm.

There are also divisions according to the figure:

• The A-shaped figure has wide hips compared to narrow shoulders.
• X - figurative type of figure. Shoulders and hips are approximately equal in width. The waist is 20 cm smaller.
• H - figurative figure. Shoulders, waist and hips are about the same size.
• T - figurative figure. The “boyish” type is broad-shouldered with narrow hips.
• Oh - a figurative physique. This type of women is distinguished by the most voluminous part of their figure - the waist.

Quetelet index

In the middle of the 19th century, the scientist statistician and sociologist Adolf Quetelet created a formula by which one can determine the excess weight in a person. The Quetelet Index (BMI) is a correspondence between human height and weight, which helps to determine the amount of excess or underweight.

To calculate your body mass index, you need to divide your weight by (height in meters*height in meters). It looks like this - weight kg: (height in m) 2.

Example: 74 kg: (1.76 * 1.76) \u003d 23.88 - the resulting figure is the Quetelet formula or body mass index.

Degrees of the Quetelet mass index

The mass index must be used with caution. When calculating it, the amount of fat in the body of a given person is not taken into account. Therefore, this weight analysis is indicative only.

1. Index up to 18.5 - lack of weight. There is no risk of obesity. Women may experience hormonal disorders, miscarriages, hypotension, low hemoglobin.
2. Index 18.6 - 25 - weight is normal. No risk of disease. There is no need to reduce or increase weight. Changes in weight can only be a personal preference.
3. Index 25.1 - 30 - extra kg. There is a risk of gradual onset of hypertension, varicose veins, diabetes.
4. Index 30.1 - 35 - 1 degree of obesity. This disease is not only a lot of fat on the human body or a cosmetic defect. Starting from this degree of obesity, the cardiovascular system and the vessels of the brain bear a double burden. Sugar is not properly absorbed by the body, leading to diabetes.
5. Index 31.1 - 40 - 2nd degree of obesity. The need for urgent action is doubling. Arthrosis, arthritis, hypertension, strokes, heart attacks are the consequences of this disease.
6. Over 40.1 - 3 degree of obesity. The huge possibility of dying from all of the above diseases increases significantly. There is an urgent need to take measures to reduce excess weight.

Volumes

The height-to-weight ratio or Quetelet index is not an ideal indicator of a beautiful body in girls or the absence of health problems.

To BMI, you need to add a measurement of waist measurement. This parameter will be in addition to the Quetelet formula.

1. The centimeter tape showed more than 80 cm - there is a small chance of developing metabolic diseases.
2. Measurements with a centimeter tape showed a waist circumference exceeding 87 cm - a critical figure. There is a need to reduce weight due to possible health complications.

Brock's formula

The French surgeon Paul Brock in the 19th century developed a calculation by which one can determine the optimal weight indicator for a person. This calculation formula includes the need to know your height in cm from which you need to subtract one hundred. The resulting figure will be an indicator of the ideal weight.

But for a correct calculation, there is a need to know the type of your physique. So, girls with the same body weight may look different due to different body types.

• Asthenics - (measured in cm. growth - one hundred) - 1/10 of the result.
• Normosthenics - measured in cm. Height - one hundred.
• Endomorphs - (measured in cm. height - one hundred) + 1/10 of the result.

Naegler's formula

When calculating, use a certain height and weight. To the ideal 152.4 cm (this growth figure is considered ideal) - (to the next 2.5 cm) you need to add 0.9 kg of weight. Add 10% of the result to the output figure.

For example: initial height 165 cm. 165-152.4=12.6:2.5=5.04*0.9=4.536. The resulting figure must be added to the ideal 45 kg = 49.536. And add 10%. As a result, we get 54.48 kg.

The Neger formula is not suitable for all body types. From a girl with high growth, you can make an "analexic".

John McCallum Formula

The body weight formula was developed by John McCallum, a sports expert and writer. Among athletes, this formula is recognized as the best. It should be determined by the volume of the wrist.

Body parameters according to McCallum:

• chest volume is 6.5 * per carpal volume;
• waist volume - measured chest volume * 0.53;
• hip volume - measured chest volume * 0.85;
• thigh (leg) volume - measured chest volume * 0.53;
• neck volume - measured chest volume * 0.37;
• biceps volume - measured chest volume * 0.36;
• lower leg volume - measured chest volume * 0.34;
• forearm volume - measured chest volume * 0.29.

Lorentz formula

At the beginning of the 20th century, a Dutch physicist calculated the perfect weight for a person. It is based on growth.

This calculation is suitable for people over 20 years old. Growth has no limits.

Formula for the beautiful half:(subtract 100 from height measured in cm) - (measured height in cm is 150) divided by 2.

Example: 175cm=(175-100)-(175-150)/2=75-25/2=62.5kg

Breitman formula

To determine the ideal weight for a particular person using the Breitman formula, it is necessary to use the height parameter in cm. The calculation is made according to the formula:

Measured growth parameter in cm. * per 0.7 and subtract 50.

Example: 176 cm*0.7-50=73.2 kg.

The calculation of the perfect weight according to this formula is more suitable for women of a more mature age.

The role of age in the ratio of height and weight

Over time, the human body undergoes changes. Muscle volume decreases, body fat increases. Due to hormonal age-related changes in women, there is a redistribution, and even excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat. Therefore, there is a need to compare your weight not with youthful indicators, but taking into account age.

The famous surgeon Brox did his BMI calculation, laying down the number of years and features of the figure.

1. The best result of female weight up to 39 years. Height measured in cm is a factor of 110.
2. Best female weight 40+. Height measured in cm is 100.
3. For an asthenic physique, it is necessary to subtract 10% of the ideal weight.
4. For female endomorphs, add 10% of their ideal weight.

Calculation of the ratio of height and weight, based on the type of female figure

Having a perfect physique is the dream of any woman or girl. All people are different and this should be recognized. Every woman is unique, no matter what body proportions she has.

Norm of weight and height: table for women

Height	19-29 years old	30-39 years old	40-50 years old
165	58,5	61,75	66,3
167	60,3	63,65	68,34
169	62,1	65,65	70,38
171	63,9	67,45	72,42
173	65,7	69,35	74,46
175	67,5	71,25	76,5

The numbers in this table show the average allowable weight of a woman at different ages.

Using a dedicated calculator

On the Internet, different types of online calculators have found their place, which can be used to calculate the optimal body weight using various formulas. The way to use the online calculator is very simple. You need to know the parameters of your body and enter the data into the calculator windows.

To find out your values ​​​​using the Quetelet formula, you only need to know the height of your body and weight. The online assistant will do the calculation himself.

The ratio of height and weight in a teenage girl

The formula will help you find out the BMI of the child. Children's calculation of the Quetelet index \u003d child weight in kg / height in m 2. For example: child height 1.35, weight 35 kg = 35/1.82=19.23. This is the norm for children 12-13 years old.

To determine the BMI of a teenager, it is necessary to make the same calculation as for babies. The Quetelet index for adults is not yet suitable for them, due to the constant growth of the body.

It is necessary to calculate the indicator - percentile. Percentile = adolescent weight/height. The result obtained must be compared with the values ​​that correspond to the age of the young man.

Indicators:

• The result is 95 and more - the disease is obesity.
• Result 80 - 95 - overweight.
• The result from 6 - 80 is normal weight.
• Less than 6 - lack of weight.

Body mass index during pregnancy

BMI during pregnancy is estimated according to the generally accepted Quetelet calculations. But this formula has its own peculiarities. To apply this calculation, you need to know the number of weeks of pregnancy, weight and height before pregnancy.

Formula: pre-pregnancy weight/height squared:

• result of 19.8 or less - underweight;
• result up to 26 - normal weight;
• anything over 26 is overweight.

During pregnancy, there is a need to monitor weight. Any changes in the mother's weight can affect the development of the child.

Why you need to know your BMI

The Quetelet index or formula is a relative indicator. But to know it is necessary and not even for the beauty of the body. In these figures, part of the health is hidden. Indicators that exceed the norm should alert.

Behind them are such serious diseases as varicose veins, arthrosis, thrombophlebitis, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes. Few people want to have so many problems in their body. Therefore, it becomes necessary to monitor your BMI in order to prevent excess weight with its consequences.

Disadvantages and limitations in using the BMI method

The Quetelet formula has its drawbacks. These should include:

• age is not taken into account in the calculations;
• well-developed muscles can be interpreted as a threat of overweight or obesity;
• there is no difference between male and female.

This includes both disadvantages and limitations. If you need in-depth calculations, you should take several different formulas.

How to normalize body mass index

For girls who want to lose weight or gain weight, calculating the body mass index can be an assistant. You need to know certain rules. They are very similar for both groups.

The body mass index in girls, and in another way the ratio of their height and weight, can become an assistant in solving health problems. And also to be a guide in achieving the desired proportions of the figure.

BMI standards and comorbidities:

The problem of excess weight worries many in our time. To be slim means to be beautiful and healthy. Men and women calculate their ideal weight and do their best to match the cherished figure. But how do you know what you're aiming for?

Most often, a simple formula is used - men subtract 100 from height in centimeters, and women 110. The resulting number is considered the optimal weight. However, this calculation does not take into account the age, body type of a person and other additional features. Therefore, it is not suitable for everyone. A more accurate result can be found by calculating the body mass index (BMI).

What is BMI

BMI is a value that shows how correct the ratio of height and weight of a person is. According to a special formula, it is calculated whether the subject is obese or malnourished. Often this method is used by doctors in the treatment of diseases associated with overweight or underweight.

The idea to calculate BMI belongs to a Belgian scientist who lived in the 19th century, by the name of Quetelet. Subsequently, many nutritionists and anthropologists made all kinds of adjustments to the table. At the moment, there are formulas by which you can find out BMI not only by Quetelet, but also by Brock, Humvee, Kreff and Devin. They received such names by the names of the scientists who calculated the indicators.

The formula for calculating BMI according to Brock was developed at the end of the 19th century by a doctor from France. It is ideal for the average man in the street with a height of 155 cm to 2 m. Brock's method was supplemented by Professor Kreff. In the calculations according to his method, the type of physique is taken into account.

According to a certain formula, you can find out if a person suffers from so-called central obesity. To do this, the waist is divided by the hips. A number above 0.9 indicates that the test subject has problems. An overhanging tummy is a threat to health. They say that extra centimeters at the waist deprive several years of life.

It should be noted that the indicators of the norm at different times differed. In recent years, the ideal BMI has become much smaller than before, and therefore the number of people suffering from overweight and obesity has statistically increased.

What does BMI depend on?

Sometimes the calculation of BMI gives not quite correct results. The fact is that it is important to remember that the ratio of adipose and muscle tissue in people is different and depends on many factors. Therefore, people with the same BMI do not look the same.

In order to make an accurate calculation of BMI, not only height is taken into account, but also a person’s age, gender, and body type, which is determined by the results of measuring the wrist.

There are fine-boned, normal-boned and broad-boned types. The BMI of lean individuals with narrow shoulders and chest should be less than those of hypersthenics with large forms. Sometimes, to determine the type of physique, the width of the chest is measured.

Due to differences in the ratio of musculature and adipose tissue, normal BMI is different men and women. It must also be taken into account age subject. The ideal weight of a young girl or guy will be different from the body weight of a mature person. No wonder. With age, the fat layer, which weighs less than muscle tissue, increases. So an elderly person can get an ideal indicator as a result of calculations, and at the same time have problems with being overweight. Therefore, people over 50 are advised to monitor their waist-to-hip ratio to prevent central obesity.

A special formula and table are used to calculate the normal body mass index of children. In addition, do not forget that the ideal weight of girls and boys cannot be identical either. Different indicators will be in children under 2 years old and upon reaching this age.

In a special way, the ideal weight of athletes is calculated. They devote a lot of time to training, and therefore have developed muscles. Their ideal BMI will be significantly higher than that of the average person.

Why you need to know BMI

BMI is useful to know for those who monitor their figure and health. Doctors also use this indicator to determine the doses of medicines. In everyday life, it is used to control body weight.

It is much easier to follow the figure knowing what to strive for. And sometimes it happens that people invent problems for themselves. Young girls, for example, exhaust themselves with diets at absolutely normal weight, which leads to anorexia.

Calculating the body mass index will help determine if a person has problems and how serious they are. Nutritionists, on the basis of the indicators obtained, recommend a certain diet and exercise to an obese patient.

How to calculate BMI

It is quite difficult to calculate the body mass index on your own, taking into account all the nuances. We can help our users to cope with this task. For people who care about their weight, an online body mass index calculator has been developed. All that is required is to enter your data into the form and in a couple of seconds the result will appear on the screen. As a rule, it is enough to know your exact weight. For a more reliable result, you should specify the volume of the hips and wrists.

Choose which formula to use to calculate, and then compare the resulting number with the data in the table. Based on the result, it can be judged whether the weight of the test person is normal. BMI also indicates whether a person is underweight or morbidly overweight. Obesity has several degrees. This is also taken into account in the calculations.

We offer a handy online body mass index calculator. Despite its simplicity, it is quite accurate. You can calculate the body mass index based on age using different formulas or derive an average that will be as close to the correct one as possible.

BMI - an approximate indicator

Even using the most accurate formula, it is impossible to calculate the ideal weight. Each person is individual. Therefore, do not be upset if your indicators go beyond the norm.

The mistake of many, and especially for the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, is the desire to be like models from glossy magazines. The slightest deviation from the norm can cause panic.

Of course, if the calculations indicate painful fullness, it is worth thinking about and trying to achieve better results. Obesity does not have a favorable effect on general well-being and on the state of human health. Excess weight leads to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and joint disease. Therefore, you should take action and get rid of extra pounds.

On the other hand, it happens that the BMI is within the normal range, and the body looks flabby and by no means young. In this case, you should not be proud of the results of the check and do not care about the figure. You should pay attention to sports or at least increase physical activity in order to put your body in order. But such people do not need a diet at all ..

In any case, do not get hung up on dry numbers. The main thing is general well-being.

Even if the test results showed a poor result, you should listen to yourself. When a person is satisfied with his reflection in the mirror, and doctors do not see a threat to health in extra pounds, it is better to forget about formulas and calculations and enjoy life in the usual rhythm.

The mass of a person is an integral characteristic. A fairly large number of various factors affect this indicator - lifestyle, diet, hereditary predisposition. It is also inextricably linked with diseases, physical activity, and peculiarities of labor activity. However, such important factors also need to pay attention to age and physique.

However, in general, experts, in order to assess body weight, compare it with height, and on the basis of this, they make any conclusions. This article proposes a consideration of the correct proportions of weight and height in men, as well as their features in adolescents.

The correct determination of a suitable body weight for a man is possible only with an integrated approach to solving this problem.

The ratio of height and weight in a man: the correct proportions

The correct weight in men is determined by height, chest volume, bone severity. The height / weight ratio for most male figures that are distinguished by health is a constant value. An increase in this indicator indicates excessive weight gain, and a decrease may indicate the presence of internal inflammatory processes. How to determine the correct weight for men?

Male physique and weight

The ideal weight of a person is influenced by several indicators. The first one is body type. There are three main types of body composition:

• normal;
• asthenic;
• hypersthenic.

Asthenic constitution is characterized by narrowed shoulders, elongated limbs and an accelerated metabolism. Such a person is called dry, sinewy, thin-boned. It really has almost no fat layer, which normally for a man should be from 11 to 18% of the weight. Asthenic bones are narrow and light. This forms the physiological basis of low weight.

The hypersthenic physique is characterized by broad shoulders, shortened limbs and a dense short neck. The metabolism of hypersthenics is slowed down. Such people are called dense or broad-boned. They have voluminous heavy bones, respectively, their weight will be greater than that of an asthenic and normosthenic.

Normosthenics represent the most balanced type of body structure with an average metabolic rate taken as normal.

Belonging to a particular type of physique can be assessed visually. If in doubt, you can use a simple test: wrap the thumb and middle fingers of one hand around the wrist of the other hand. If it turned out easy - there is an asthenic physique. If with difficulty - this is a normosthenic. If it did not work out at all - obvious signs of hypersthenic.

Taking into account all types of body composition, various auxiliary aids have been developed and used to evaluate, for example, a table of the ratio of height and weight for various types (asthenic, hyper- or normosthenic). In this table, the correct weight is determined in the corresponding column by the indicator of growth and type of addition (Fig. 1).

With the same growth value in men, the weight of the asthenic is lower than the normosthenic by an average of 2 kg (or 10%). A hypersthenic is heavier than a normosthenic by approximately 2.5-3 kg (or 12-14%).

The second option for determining body type is to measure the length of the wrist (in centimeters). If the circumference of the wrist in men is less than 17 cm, these are asthenic data. From 17 to 20 cm characterize the normosthenic. Over 20 cm - hypersthenic.

Broca's formulas: the ratio of weight and height

A more complicated and accurate calculation takes into account not only height and physique, but also age. In this case, the calculation procedure was called Broca's formula, which exists in two versions. The first version of Brock's formula takes into account body type.

1. From the measured male height (in centimeters), 110 must be subtracted (if the man is under 40) or 100 (if the man is over forty).
2. The value obtained is the normal weight of a normosthenic, for an asthenic it must be reduced by 10%, for a hypersthenic it must also be increased by 10%.

The second calculation according to Brock does not take into account the physique, but makes an adjustment for age. Such a calculation turns out to be a fairly average estimate of the ratio of weight and height for men.

1. 100, 105 or 110 are subtracted from the height of a man (in centimeters). The value of 100 is subtracted for men of small stature (up to 165 cm). The value of 105 is taken away with an average height (from 166 cm to 175 cm). For everyone else who is taller (above 176 cm), 110 is subtracted from the height value.
2. The resulting number is considered the norm for the age of 40-50 years. For representatives of the younger generation (20-30 years old), the result is reduced by 10-12%, for men aged (over 50), the result is increased by 5-7%.

A table of the ratio of height and weight of a man, taking into account the number of years lived, will help to determine without calculations the correct weight value for a man of any age (Fig. 2).

Calculation examples

In order to understand the specifics of calculations using all the above methods, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with several examples of calculations.

Height 170 cm

If the height of a man is 170 cm. You can calculate the normal weight with a height of 170 using the following methods:

1. By body type, the weight of a hypersthenic should be 65-73 kg, asthenic - 58-62 kg, normosthenic - 61-71 kg.
2. Depending on age, in men under 30 years of age, normal weight should be up to 72.7 kg, up to 40 years old - 77.7 kg, up to 50 years old - 81 kg, up to 60 years old - 79.9 kg, over 60 years old - 76 .9 kg.
3. According to the improved Brock formula, with a height of 170 cm, weight \u003d (170 - 100) × 1.15 \u003d 80.5 kg.

The remaining calculations can be carried out online on special calculators, where a special system takes care of all the calculations.

Height 175 cm

If the height of a man is 175 cm, then you can calculate the normal weight according to the following methods:

• By body type, the weight of a hypersthenic should be 69-77 kg, asthenic - 62-66 kg, normosthenic - 65-71 kg.
• Depending on age, in men under 30, the weight should normally be up to 77.5-80.8 kg, up to 40 years - 80.8-83.3 kg, up to 50 years - 84.4-86 kg, up to 60 years old - 82.5-84.1 kg, over 60 years old - 79.3-81.9 kg.
• According to the improved Brock formula, with a height of 175 cm, weight \u003d (175 - 100) × 1.15 \u003d 86.25 kg.

Otherwise, weight with a height of 175 cm can be determined online on special calculators, where a special system takes care of all the calculations.

Height 180 cm

If the height of a man is 180 cm, in this case it is possible to determine exactly the normal weight using the following methods:

1. According to the body type, the weight of a hypersthenic should be 72-81 kg, asthenic - 66-70 kg, normosthenic - 68-75 kg.
2. Depending on age, in men under 30 years of age, normal weight should be up to 85.1 kg, up to 40 years old - 88 kg, up to 50 years old - 89.9 kg, up to 60 years old - 87.5 kg, over 60 years old - 84 .4 kg.
3. According to the improved Brock formula, with a height of 180 cm, weight \u003d (180 - 100) × 1.15 \u003d 92 kg.

The rest of the calculations can actually be performed online on specially created calculators, where all tasks are performed by a special system.

Height 185 cm

1. By body type, the weight of a hypersthenic should be 76-86 kg, asthenic - 72-80 kg, normosthenic - 69-74 kg.
2. Depending on age, in men under 30 years of age, normal weight should be up to 89.1-93.1 kg, up to 40 years old - 92-95 kg, up to 50 years old - 92.9-96.6 kg, up to 60 years old - 91.6-92.8 kg, over 60 years old - 88-89 kg.
3. According to the improved Brock formula, with a height of 185 cm, weight \u003d (185 - 100) × 1.15 \u003d 97.75 kg.

More detailed and accurate calculations of what is the optimal ratio of height and weight for a man can be carried out online on special calculators. Here, all the calculations are taken over by a special system.

To search for the ideal figures regarding the height and weight of a man, you can use specially created online calculators. They help to accurately calculate the body mass index, the optimal weight category of a man according to Brock's method, based on these data, body type. In addition, the calculator can tell you the exact number of calories needed to meet the needs of the body.

Note!

• The body mass index can be determined by the Quetelet method and formulas. The optimal numbers are 19-25.

• At the same time, you should not perceive the data obtained by calculating calculators as the truth in the first instance, since these data are only a guideline, nothing more. It is very important to take into account the personal characteristics of the body, the state of health and genetic predispositions. Ideal proportions can be calculated using the Brock method, where the age indicator and figure are specified.
• The Solovyov index determines the body type of a person, it is determined by the number of centimeters in the diameter of a person's wrist.
• To accurately determine the daily calorie intake, the calculator takes into account the degree of physical fitness and activity of a man and his addition parameters. Two formulas are used for this - according to the Harris-Benedict and Mifflin-San Geor methods.

Other formulas

Other formulas for calculating weight: Brunhard, Neger and Ketje. The Brunhard formula is based on the value of height and volume of the chest. The girth of the chest can change the ratio of height and weight. The procedure for calculating this formula:

1. Height (in centimeters) multiplied by bust (in centimeters).
2. The resulting value is divided by 240.

The Ketier index is considered an approximate form of estimating the norm of weight. The ratio of weight and height in these calculations is determined as follows:

1. The value of male height (in meters) is squared.
2. The body weight (in kilograms) is divided by this value of the square.

The resulting number is called the Ketier index, it orients in the zone of belonging to the ideal weight or going beyond the limits of acceptable values. Normally, the Ketier index for men should be in the range from 19 to 25. The age of a man does not matter when calculating this index (Fig. 3). The Neger formula determines the ratio of weight and height for men by a complicated calculation in the following order:

1. From the height of a man (in centimeters), 152.4 is subtracted.
2. The result is multiplied by 1.1.
3. 48 is added to the result obtained after multiplication.

Age-appropriate

It has been proven that the weight of a man and a woman should gradually increase with age - this is a normal physiological process. Kilograms, which some people consider "superfluous", in fact, they may not be. You can use the formula to determine the optimal weight depending on age.

The correct ratio of weight and height in men of different ages The weight of a person is determined by his physical constitution and health. The taller the man, the greater the mass of his body. The larger the chest volume, the greater the weight significance. And vice versa. Too much obesity is expressed in extra pounds and indicates a manifestation of ill health.

The cause of a set of fat mass and the formation of ballast deposits are inactivity, excessively high-calorie food, metabolic disorders within the body. The first two factors together form obesity of various degrees and contribute to the development of diseases of the digestive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems.

The most common consequences of extra pounds are diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, arthrosis.

Various systems for calculating the optimal weight help to monitor your weight, correctly determine your own proportions and change your lifestyle and nutrition in a timely manner.

Fat in the body: normal or pathological?

• At the same time, up to 25 years in the body, the presence of about 15% fat is considered the norm.
• The average age (from 40 to 50-55 years) allows you to increase the amount of adipose tissue up to 22%.
• Old age (after 55 years) limits the rate of fat content to 25%.
• With a significant decrease (compared to the norm) in the amount of adipose tissue in the body, you should consult a doctor for an examination.

There is a high probability of detecting a chronic disease. An increase in the percentage of fat forms a carcinogenic ballast (fat layer) inside, which burdens the bones of the skeleton and puts additional stress on the heart and blood vessels. If desired, you can determine the presence of excess adipose tissue without calculations, using the so-called pinch test. To do this, you need to take yourself by the crease on your stomach with two fingers. Gently take your fingers away from your stomach, keeping the distance between them. And measure this distance (in centimeters). The presence of excess fat is indicated by a distance of more than 2.5 cm.kakbik.ru

A few reasons to maintain your ideal weight

The benefits of maintaining your ideal (optimal, or healthy) body weight go far beyond energy gains and smaller clothing sizes, and are measured not only by quality, but, as already mentioned, by life expectancy. For men and women of all ages, physically and emotionally, being overweight is a burden, but it is something that can and should be avoided or minimized.

Here are just a few of the many reasons why you should:

1. Reduced discomfort. The loss of even 5-10% of body weight will help reduce various pain and discomfort in the muscles and joints caused by lack of movement. Excess weight puts increased stress on muscles, joints, and bones, causing them to work harder than usual, even with normal movement. Losing excess weight will allow these parts of the body to work more efficiently, reducing wear and tear and the likelihood of injury.
2. Normalization of blood pressure. Being overweight increases the likelihood of developing high blood pressure. Losing just a few pounds can already lower blood pressure in overweight people with hypertension.
3. Healthy heart. The greater the body weight, the more intensively the heart must work, even at rest. Even small weight loss can increase the efficiency of the heart by sending more blood to vital organs. Being overweight reduces the workload on the heart and reduces the risk of a heart attack or angina.
4. Reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It is well known that overweight people are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than normal weight people. For those who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, weight loss will allow for better control of it, for the rest it will reduce the risk of developing this disease in the future. In some cases, once weight is normalized, type 2 diabetes can be controlled with a doctor's decision diet.
5. Reducing the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Normalizing your weight will not completely prevent your chances of developing cancer, but it may reduce your risk of developing some types of cancer. Overweight women are more likely to develop cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, ovaries, breast and cervix. Overweight men are at greater risk of developing prostate, colon, and rectal cancer.
6. Prevention of arthrosis. Osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints that can occur, among other things, due to increased stress on the joints caused by excess body weight. By maintaining a normal body weight, the development of this disease can be completely prevented.

A healthy diet, light exercise, and consultation with your doctor will help you maintain a healthy weight and enjoy all the benefits of a weight-free life. But, first of all, you need to understand what weight is ideal for you.

Weight correction

At present, the average height of men is 178 cm, women - 164. Boys grow up to 19 - 22 years. Quite intensive growth is observed at the beginning of puberty (this process lasts for girls from 10 to 16, for boys - from 11 to 17 years). Girls grow fastest between 10 and 12 years old, and boys between 13 and 16 years old.

It is known that growth fluctuations are observed during the day. The greatest body length is recorded in the morning. In the evening, growth may be less by 1-2 cm.

The main factors affecting growth are good nutrition (nutrition is needed for growth), sleep observance (you need to sleep at night, in the dark, at least 8 hours), physical education or sports (inactive, stunted body - stunted body).

Important to remember

1. In adolescence (from 11 to 16 years) there is a growth spurt. Those. one person may begin to grow at 11 years old, and by 13 years old grow to his final height, and another at 13-14 years old is just starting to grow. Some grow slowly, over several years, others grow in one summer. Girls start growing earlier than boys.
2. This growth spurt is due to puberty and directly depends on it.
3. Often in the process of growth, the body does not have time to build muscle mass and gain weight. Or vice versa, first weight is gained, and then height increases, the body is stretched. This is a normal condition and does not require immediate weight loss or weight gain.
4. Losing weight and starving during adolescence is very dangerous, because a growing body, especially the brain, needs resources to grow and develop. And an underdeveloped brain is then more difficult to cure than an underdeveloped body.

For fat and thin

First of all: weight and volume are not the same thing. Because muscle weighs 4 times more fat for the same volume. In addition, there are several types of muscles, as well as fats (biology course grades 8-9). Therefore, if the weight is normal or below normal, and the body looks fat, this is because there is a lot of fat, little muscle.

Here you will need proper nutrition and physical effort to turn fat into muscle. The weight will not change, and the plumpness will disappear. The same applies to those who have a weight below the norm, but the body looks normal, well, except that the muscles are not visible.

Also, if the weight is below normal and looks thin, this is also a lack of muscle mass. This often happens during a period of active growth, when the skeleton grows faster than the muscles. This is normal and will go away on its own if you eat well.
I would especially like to mention teenagers, boys and girls suffering from the "belly". The reason for the appearance of the "belly" is the weakness of the muscles of the peritoneum and malnutrition. As a result, exercise for the abdominal muscles and the establishment of a diet, the use of nutritious and healthy foods, and the consumption of food in small portions help.

• Average height and weight should be within the green and blue values ​​(25-75 centiles). This height corresponds to the average height of a person for a specified age.
• Growth, the value of which is within the yellow value, is also normal, but indicates a tendency to advance (75-90 centiles) or lag behind (10 centiles) in growth, and may be due to both features and a disease with a hormonal imbalance (more often endocrinological or hereditary). In such cases, it is necessary to draw the attention of the pediatrician.
• Growth, the value of which is in the red zone (<3 или >97th centile) is outside the normal range. In this situation, it is necessary to consult with the appropriate specialists: pediatrician, therapist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, geneticist.

Proper nutrition

Proper nutrition is the basis for increasing growth. What food increases growth, what food stimulates growth?

Breakfast

Breakfast is the main meal of the day. After sleep, the body has the most stretched and relaxed form, and it is very important to do a little exercise before breakfast. In the morning, the body takes in nutrients best. That's what we need. So, for breakfast it is better to eat only grain products (cereals). This:

• Porridge (buckwheat; oatmeal and "hercules"; barley; corn; millet; rice.) Better with milk. P.S. From porridge do not get fat.
  Omelette or boiled eggs are also acceptable for breakfast, but not every day.
• Bread (whole grain).
• Tea, cocoa, milk.

Unfortunately, dry crispy flakes, stars, rings that need to be filled with milk do not have nutrients to increase growth. They do not stimulate growth in any way and can only be added to your diet for a change.

Dinner

In the daily diet should be as much as possible vegetable and protein foods.

• Vegetables and fruits (carrots; peas; beans; beans; nuts; dill; tarragon; savory; basil; marjoram; lettuce; spinach; parsley; celery; onions; rhubarb; corn; bananas; oranges; strawberries; cranberries; blueberries).
  On the day, you need to eat at least a kilogram of vegetables and fruits.
• Soups and broths (Soups and broths by themselves do not stimulate your growth, but they activate the metabolism in the body, which is important.
• Meat (Pork, beef, veal, etc., preferably boiled. 1 time in 2 days)
• Dairy products (kefir; cottage cheese; cream; milk; sour cream; cheese)
• Liver, kidneys.
• Fish (preferably boiled. 1 time in 2 days)
• Poultry (Chicken, turkey. Do not eat the skin.)
• Juice (carrot; orange.) or compote.
• Bread (whole grain).

Dinner

You can't sleep hungry! Here's what to eat in the evening:

• Dairy products (kefir; cottage cheese with honey; cream; milk; sour cream; cheese)
• Eggs (boiled). Every day before bed.
• Fresh fruits and vegetables

In order for products to retain more active and useful substances for increasing growth, they need to be fried less, but rather boiled or steamed! If there is an allergy, etc. on some products, you can choose alternative.

Now about that what "slows down" the increase in growth and what to avoid.

1) Alcohol and smoking. Eliminate completely! Even on holidays. Alcohol is the first thing that prevents you from growing, as is smoking (hookah too). If you smoke or drink alcohol, quit this thankless task now.
2) Sugary carbonated drinks (in addition to the fact that they do not contain anything useful, thirst quenchers are added to them).
3) Fast food, chips, crackers, etc. and so on. They impair liver function.
… And that's not all.

And finally - a recipe for an effective drink to increase growth:

• To prepare it, you will need 2 cups (200 ml each) of milk (2.5-3.5%) and one fresh, raw egg (chicken or quail).
• One egg is taken for two glasses of milk and the resulting mixture is well shaken with a mixer or blender.
• 400-500 ml. of this cocktail, drink 3 times a day. The results are excellent.

Proper nutrition will not increase growth without exercise, as well as vice versa. It's proven, it's a fact.

Vitamin and mineral complexes to increase growth

Vitamin-mineral complexes are extremely important, because almost all people living in megacities have a vitamin deficiency. This is because food products grown on our "modern" soils are devoid of many trace elements, and as a result, vitamins! To put it simply, the foods you eat do not contain any growth-promoting substances.

• "Calcemin Advance"
• "Calcium sandoz forte"
• "Berlamin Modular, Berlin-Chemie"
• "Natekal D3"
• "ELKAR rr d / ext. acceptance 20%"
• "Jodomarin 200, Berlin-Chemie"

These complexes are proven and very helpful in stimulating growth. I don’t advise you to use them at the same time (have pity on your liver), so there are two ways, either try all these drugs in turn, or go to the doctor and pick up a complex with him. Again, people are different and what works for one person may not work for another.

Preparations containing growth hormone

Modern science makes it possible for those young people whose growth zones have not yet been closed to grow. Basically, methods of hormonal influence on the body, psychological suggestion, nutrition are used. The suggestion of a growth mindset promotes the release of samatotropin, the growth hormone, by the pituitary gland.

The use of hormonal drugs in combination with other measures can change the situation. However, parents do not always want their child to take hormones. In addition, with closed growth zones, when there is no source for bone tissue growth, the use of somatotropin is not only pointless, but can be harmful to the body.

The medical preparations that have now appeared, containing recombinant growth hormone, allow you to add 1-2 cm in height per year.

However, they are effective in case of congenital pathology of the pituitary gland and have a number of side effects. Their use can cause acromegaly (enlargement of the hands, ears, nose, etc.), and taking after puberty (after 18-20 years) does not affect growth. Active growth stops after puberty.

How to sleep

Proper, sound and healthy sleep is one of the key conditions for increasing growth, because a person grows in a dream. Actually about the rules of healthy sleep and will be discussed below.

1) You need to sleep in a room where it is dark, quiet and fresh.. Most of us live in megacities where there is a high level of noise, where it is light even at night and the air cannot be called fresh. We are used to all this, but it still affects sleep. Therefore, ear plugs, air conditioning and thick fabric curtains are the first things you need to have for a sound sleep.

2) The sleeping area should be well ventilated. If there is no air conditioning, open the window. Do not be afraid to open the window even in winter. It is better to cover yourself with extra woolen blankets than to breathe in stale air.

3) hard bed will provide comfort to your spine. Too soft bed, on the contrary, will not allow you to get enough sleep. If your bed is too soft, you can put a few sheets of plywood under the mattress.

4) Don't sleep on oversized pillows. Scientists advise sleep without a pillow. Since in this case there is no circulatory disturbance of the spinal cord, and improved cerebral circulation normalizes intracranial pressure. To increase growth and healthy sleep, it is better to sleep on your back, placing a pillow not under your head, but under half-bent knees. This position is not easy to get used to, but the benefits of it are much greater.

5) Nightwear and sheets should be nice and clean. Therefore, make sure that the bed linen pleases you. A sound, healthy sleep and a gray-dirty bed are incompatible concepts, scattered socks and a cozy atmosphere too.

6) Try not to curl up "into a ball" during sleep. Keep your knees close to your chest and your elbows to your knees. This makes it difficult for air to enter the lungs. You need to sleep as straight as possible. Stretched.

7) All the same scientists claim that an adult Six to eight hours of sleep is enough for a human being. However, some people need five hours of sleep per night, while others need ten hours of sleep. During growth or adolescence, the body requires more sleep. So:

• At 1-10 years old, it is enough to sleep 10-15 hours;
• At 11-15 years old, it is enough to sleep 9-11 hours;
• At 16-25 years old, it is enough to sleep 7-9 hours.

8) Drink a glass of water before bed. Warm milk drunk at night will help you fall asleep faster.

Important: DO NOT eat heavy food, smoked, fried, sweet, etc. before going to bed, as well as drink coffee, strong tea, highly carbonated drinks, etc.! After such a meal, a person’s sleep will definitely not be healthy.

9) For better sleep you need set a fixed hour for going to bed. Time to wash, calm down, forget about all the problems and tune in to rest. To move into a calm state and calm down, complete the following task.

Relaxation and breathing

Close your eyes and relax. Make sure that every part of your body is completely relaxed. From head to toe. Now a little breathing exercise:

• Inhale slowly and deeply through the nose (10 sec.);
• Hold your breath (3 sec);
• Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth while tightening the abdominal muscles (13 seconds).
• Repeat if necessary.

The sound of blood pulsation also helps to relax and fall asleep. Start counting your pulse. This method is much more effective than counting in the mind.

10) In conclusion, I would advise you not to spend the night. Shaolin monks, for example, who are distinguished by their health and strength, follow a strict schedule: 21.00-go to bed, 7.00-wake up. Not a minute later. They found that during this period the body is completely restored.

Techniques and exercises to increase height tested and show amazing results! But not 100%. The results largely depend on the nature of the person. Only purposeful and strong-willed people are able to become taller. The results will appear in a few months with daily (!) training.

Berg's technique

It has always been believed, and scientists did not tire of repeating this, that a person’s height can only be increased up to 20 years. Recently, this fact has been called into question. This was largely due to Dr. Alexander Berg. He proved that it is possible to grow even after 25 and 30 years. each person has reserves for increasing growth by 6-8 cm. His method for increasing growth is aimed at awakening these reserves. Berg's technique is simple and unique. It has been experienced by many people who want to grow up.

Method A.Tranquillitati

Tranquillitati Alexandra Nikolaevna is an honored doctor of the RSFSR, a recognized authority in the field of physical therapy. The A. Tranquillitati technique, originally created for people who suffer from pain in the back, neck, head, not only improves health, but also a noticeable increase in growth.

“It does this by increasing the length of the disc between the two vertebrae. Some exercises from the technique really make the spine take on unnatural forms. Therefore, I can admit that regular repetition of these exercises can increase the length of the spine or the whole body, ”this is how Alexandra Nikolaevna Tranquillitati explained it.

Description: To begin with, I’ll say that complex simulators, such as Berg’s, are really not needed here. You will need a gymnastic wall (a few sticks attached at a distance of 8 - 10 cm) and a gymnastic board (with small supports to fix on the gymnastic wall). The file with the methodology contains all the drawings of the necessary equipment.

Now a few tips for those who want to increase growth using this technique.
1) The best results will be when training is combined with regular basketball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, football and other sports games.

2) Go to a doctor, under whose supervision, your classes will be most successful. This item is not "for show". A. Tranquillitati exercises can harm some people.

3) You need to train 1.5-2 hours before or after eating. And 1.5-2 hours before bedtime.

4) Gradually increase the load. Start with one workout per day, doing half or a third of all the exercises. In the first 1.5-2 months, the doctor recommends setting the duration of classes to 10-15 minutes, then increasing the number of repetitions, and, accordingly, the time to 50-60 minutes or more.

5) After training, within 3 minutes, you need to take a warm shower.

Norbekov's technique

Mirzakarim Sanakulovich Norbekov is a well-known psychologist, academician, author of the educational and health system. The Norbekov technique is a set of exercises to increase height by building up cartilage between the vertebrae of the spine and by irritating the tubular bones of the legs.

According to the author of the technique M.S. Norbekova: “All patients after 7-8 days of classes note an increase in height from two to ten or more centimeters. Of course, a person does not grow from exercise. It’s just that a person acquires a natural shape and flexibility for him by restoring the elasticity of the intervertebral discs..

The only rule when performing the technique is regularity (minimum - 1 time per day for 1 hour, normally - in the morning and in the evening for 45 minutes).

Some tips for the technique:

• Don't get ahead of things. In the first three or four days, do not draw final conclusions about yourself, your capabilities and this technique.
• Do not talk or be distracted during the exercise.
• Don't overstress. A sign of improper operation is a feeling of heaviness in the head.
• During the exercise, do not doze, drowsiness is unacceptable.
• You can't do it when you're tired and hungry.
• Any excuses for your laziness and passivity are unacceptable.

Exercises by V. A. Lonsky

Is it possible and how to get taller? Short growth is just a malfunction of the hormonal system, and most importantly, it can be changed for the better with the help of exercises for growth zones. This is what we will do with the help of Viktor Alekseevich Lonsky's exercises.

• Description:
  1) Warm-up run, 10 min.
• 2) Leg swings (10 times with each leg), tilts (front-back 10 times and left-right 8 times), twine (2 minutes), circular movements of arms, elbows and hands (10 times). 25 minutes are allotted for the exercises.
• 3) Exercise on the bar, hang for 2 minutes (4 sets of 30 seconds, 2 of them with heavy weights (up to 10 kg). Additional weight is tied to the legs.)
• 4) Hang on the bar upside down for 1-2 minutes. Legs and feet are firmly secured with special straps. (4 sets of 20 seconds each, 1 of them with a weighted weight (from 5 kg), press the additional load to the chest)
• 5) High jumps. Push with all your might, i.e. jump as high as possible. (2 times 12 jumps on each leg, 3 times 12 jumps on two legs.) 10-15 minutes are allotted for the exercise.
• 6) Climbing up the hill (40 meters) or up and down the stairs. (5 times) When descending, relaxing.
• 7) 4 times a week, in the evening, you need to stretch yourself with rubber cords. (5-10 min.) Tie one cord to the legs, the second under the armpits. Belts pull in opposite directions.

• 8) 4 times a week a lesson in the pool. (40 min.) swimming, stretch your arms and legs as much as possible, performing different sips.
• 9) 3 times a week playing basketball or volleyball (30 minutes each). Play trying to win all the riding balls.
• 10) Per day, growth exercises take 2 hours (an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening). You need to jump at least 100-200 times a day!

Swimming is a great human growth stimulant

Swimming - improves breathing (good for the cardiovascular system), expands the chest and shoulders, increases activity. When swimming, all the muscles of the body, one way or another, begin to work, stretching the spine and individual muscles of the body. What you need to increase growth.

Breaststroke is the best swimming style for increasing height. Breaststroke allows you to expand and increase the muscles and spine due to the sweeping movements of the arms and legs in the water. When swimming breaststroke, stretch your arms and legs as much as possible, then completely relax your muscles (you can just lie on the water).

Ideal weight is an average standard that is calculated based on data from a large number of people. But all people are different. Lifestyle, food culture, nationality and body type - all this affects the ideal weight. For example, the normal weight of people with a strong physique will be 2-3% higher than that of people with an average body. And the norm for thin people is 3-5% less. Therefore, it is not necessary to strive specifically for the ideal weight, which shows weight calculator. It is enough if your weight is within the calculated range.

Beyond the weight calculator calculates BMI- body mass index (ideal weight), which is widely used to determine the degree of correspondence between body weight and height.

How to calculate your ideal weight (BMI) yourself

BMI \u003d M: R 2, where

M - body weight in kg

P - height in meters

An example of calculating the body mass index: M (weight) - 78 kg, P (height) - 1.68 m

BMI = 78: 1.68 2 = 27.6

From the table below, you can see that a BMI of -27.6 corresponds to being overweight.

Table of interpretation of BMI indicators

In the case of a strong deviation from the norm, it is time to seriously think about correcting your weight. With reduced weight, dystrophy develops. In the modern civilized world, its cause is usually intentional malnutrition. The desire to have an unnaturally slender figure can result in a violation of both the psyche and physical health - the ability to work decreases, the skin dries, hair falls out. All this comes from a lack of substances necessary for the body.

However, their excessive excess also does not lead to anything good. A huge number of people suffer from obesity. Excess weight greatly increases the risk of kidney and gallbladder stones, joint deformities, impotence, myocardial infarction and many other diseases. The whole body works with overload, moving masses of fat in space that are not provided for by the design of the human body. Not surprisingly, the life expectancy of obese people is on average 6-8 years less than that of the rest.

On this page of the site, tables of normal weight are offered in relation to the height of a person, taking into account also the type of physique.

There are three types:

1) hypersthenic- a man with short arms, legs, neck and broad shoulders.

2) normosthenic- an ordinary person with an average metabolic rate.

3) asthenic- a person with an increased metabolism, narrow shoulders, long legs and arms.

How to determine your body type?

With the thumb and forefinger of one hand, grasp the wrist of the other where the bone protrudes. If it was not possible to grasp - you are a hypersthenic, if it turned out with great difficulty - a normosthenic, if it turns out easily - you are an asthenic.

In addition to the "weight table", there is calculation method ratio "height-weight" (provided that your height is more than 170 cm.).

To do this, 110 is subtracted from the height (in centimeters). The resulting value is your due weight in kilograms. To be more precise, for asthenics it is necessary to subtract 115, for normosthenics - 110, for hypersthenics - 100.

Does age affect height-to-weight ratio?

The answer is unequivocal. Yes, of course it does. It has been proven that the weight of a man and a woman should gradually increase with age - this is a normal physiological process. Kilograms, which some people consider "superfluous", in fact, they may not be.

You can use the formula to determine the optimal weight depending on age.

Body weight \u003d 50 + 0.75 (P - 150) + (B - 20): 4

R- height
IN- age in years.
