Healthy Weight Calculator
An optimum weight can be calculated
for every frame size, and for men and women. People who are overweight
are at risk for diseases like heart disease, diabetes, stroke,
gallbladder disease and certain types of cancer. Being underweight
can lead to health conditions such as anemia, heart problems,
and chronic fatigue. You can use this tool to calculate a healthy
weight for you height.
This tool does not take your frame size (small, medium or large),
or your gender into account. It also does not account for pregnancy,
breastfeeding women, athletes and those with a muscular build,
older persons or persons who have loss of muscle mass, and illness.
It is not intended for those individuals
under 18 years of age, or those who are under 5 feet tall or
over 7 feet tall,
but will give you a good idea whether your weight is within the
healthy range, or just how many kilograms you need to lose or
gain.
