Adult male weight standard

Weight is very important for personal image and even personal health. Whether a person is too light or too heavy, it will make him look ugly, so there is such a thing as a standard weight. If a person's weight is the standard weight, then the person's figure will look better. So, what is the weight standard for adult men? The following will introduce it!

1. The significance of standard weight

Weight is one of the important indicators that reflects and measures a person's health. Being too fat or too thin is not good for health and does not give a person a sense of fitness. A large amount of statistical data on different body types shows that the most ideal and simple indicator reflecting normal weight can be expressed by the relationship between height and weight.

2. Calculation method of standard weight

The calculation method recommended by the World Health Organization is:

Male: (height cm - 80) x 70﹪ = standard weight

Female: (height cm - 70) x 60﹪ = standard weight

Normal weight is within plus or minus 10% of standard weight

The standard weight is plus or minus 10% to 20% for overweight or underweight

A standard weight of plus or minus 20% or more is considered obese or underweight

Overweight calculation formula

Overweight % = (actual weight - ideal weight) / (ideal weight)

According to statistics, about 42% of people think they are too fat and need to lose weight. Before embarking on a real weight loss plan, it is best to have a concept of an ideal weight. If you ask too much of yourself, it often causes adverse psychological effects.

Based on different body mass indices, we can see whether our weight is ideal.

3. Other Algorithms

1. Calculation method 1:

Body mass index = weight (kg) ÷ height (m) squared kg/m^2

Formula: BMI = weight / (height) ^ 2

Normal weight: BMI = 18-25 (Chinese physical fitness standards are 18-22 for women and 20-24 for men)

Overweight: BMI = 25-30

Mild obesity: BMI>30

Moderate obesity: BMI>35

Severe obesity: BMI>40

2. Calculation method 2:

Standard weight = height (m) × height (m) × standard coefficient (20 for women, 22 for men)

Normal weight is within plus or minus 10% of standard weight

The standard weight is plus or minus 10% to 20% is considered overweight or underweight

A standard weight of plus or minus 20% or more is considered obese or underweight

3. Calculation method three:

Standard weight (kg) = height (cm) - 105

For example, for a man who is 170 cm tall, his standard weight should be: 170 (cm) - 105 = 65 (kg). Anyone who is 10% above the standard weight is considered overweight, and anyone who is 20% above the standard weight is considered obese; anyone who is 10% below the standard weight is considered underweight, and anyone who is 20% below the standard weight is considered underweight.

Note: The above calculation method is only applicable to adults. It is not applicable to children, the elderly, or people who are too short.
