What is the appropriate weight for a boy who is 180cm tall?

When boys reach a height of 180cm, they will pay great attention to their weight. They always want to control weight changes to avoid any deformation of their body shape. Then they need to improve their weight through exercise and diet so that their weight will not change so quickly. In addition, rapid weight changes will also have an impact on health, so people need to know how to control their weight.

Weight control programs may use four types of treatment: dietary and nutritional counseling, behavioral therapy, medications, and surgery. Diet Traditional dietary therapy is rarely used today; instead, the emphasis is on changing long-term habits. Most programs teach clients how to eat in a safe, sensible, and gradual manner. Changes include increasing the intake of complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals, pastas) and decreasing the intake of fats and simple carbohydrates. Very low-energy diets that provide 400 to 800 kcal per day are no longer popular because it is clear that patients can quickly regain their weight.

Adult BMI Method

Body mass index = weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared (kg/m2)

Normal weight: BMI = 18 - 25

Overweight: BMI = 25 - 30

Mild obesity: BMI> 30

Moderate obesity: BMI > 35

Severe obesity: BMI > 40

Standard weight for children and adolescents

Standard weight = age x 2 + 8 (3 - 7 years old)

Standard weight = age x 3 + 10 (7-16 years old)

Mild obesity: 20% - 30% above standard body weight

Moderate obesity: 40% - 50% above standard body weight

Severe obesity: more than 50% above the standard body weight

Normal Overweight Mildly obese Moderately obese Severely obese

6- 11 years old 16-19 19-21 21-23 23-27 27-

Several other calculation methods

① Adult: (height (cm) - 100) × 0.9 = standard weight (kg)

② Male: Height (cm) - 105 = standard weight (kg)

Female: Height (cm) - 100 = Standard Weight (kg)

The above two calculation methods have basically been widely adopted.

In addition, the Academy of Military Science has also introduced a method to calculate the ideal weight of Chinese people:

Ideal weight for northerners = (height cm-150) × 0.6 + 50 (kg)

Ideal weight for southerners = (height cm-150) × 0.6 + 48 (kg)

This calculation method seems to be more suitable for Chinese people in the north and south.

A simple way to calculate a child's standard weight is:

1 to 6 months: birth weight (kg) + age in months × 0.6 = standard weight (kg)

7-12 months: birth weight (kg) + age in months × 0.5 = standard weight (kg)

1 year old and above: 8 + age × 2 = standard weight (kg)
