Method 1
At the first method to account the ideal weight it used length, chest measurement and gender.
Method 2
(Body
Mass
Index) This method (other
denomination Quetelet-index) gives indication or your weight at your body length
is appropriate.Your weight is shared your length in the square.
It is well if the outcome lies between 18.5 and 25. Below
are you too thin in proportion with your body length. You calculated
index is something more than 25 then are you possible something too heavy. Much
above 25 are you unhealthy fat. For people above the 60 years the BMI is not the
correct method.
Calculation BMI
feet:inches / meters:cm
What is your weight:
lbs/kg
This way correct?
Your BMI is:
Body Mass
Index
Under 18,5
Too thin.
Between 18,5 and 25
Well.
Something above 25
Probable
overweight.
Much above 25
Too heavy.
Above 32
Very fat.
40 or more

Calculation strive weight
index
This way correct?

is then:
lbs or
kg
Method 3
If you have not enough time or no sense (or whatever) you can
measure only your body
length. This third method is less reliable.
Method 4 Waist test
Measure with a measuring-line your abdomen scope. For this you
must take the waist outline between the bottom rib and
the upper part of the
hip. You cannot attract the measuring-line too tightly.
Women
Less than 80 cm
No risk.
Between 80 and 88 cm
Increased risk.
Above the 88 cm
Strongly
increased risk.
Men
Less than 94 cm
No
risk.
Between 94 and 102 cm
Increased risk.
Above the 102 cm
Strongly increased risk.
Note
For people over 50, this method is probably a more appropriate method than the
Body Mass Index. Overall, the percentage of fat and muscle mass during aging.
This means that the body weight at the Body Mass Index calculation reduced pro
rata, because muscle is heavier than fat.
