Obesity is associated with a host of negative health effects, including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Watching your caloric intake and getting enough exercise are essential to keeping the pounds off, but starvation and under-nourishment are not healthy alternatives. Being underweight has its own concerns, including hormonal and immune system disruption. You can get a good estimate of where your weight should be, based on age, gender and height.  \nBODY MASS INDEX  \nYour Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a good indicator of whether you are over or underweight. To calculate your BMI, take your weight in pounds, and divide it by your height in inches, squared. Then multiply by 703. A resulting BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered the normal range for both men and women, including seniors, over the age of 20.  \nFit Women Over 50 Free Health & Fitness Resource With Great Insights on Defying Age! [Health.LifeGoesStrong.com/Fitn](Health.LifeGoesStrong.com/Fitn)  \nSponsored Links  \nIDEAL WEIGHT FROM HEIGHT  \nTo calculate ideal weight based on height, take your height in inches squared. and multiply by .03087. The result will be the weight, in pounds, of a person with a BMI of 21 .7, which is exactly in the middle of the normal range. Calculate the low end of the normal weight range by multiplying height squared by .0263. Calculate the high end by multiplying height squared by .0354.  \nCHILDREN  \nDetermining the ideal weight for a child based on height is more complicated than for an adult, because the normal range for BMI differs from that for an adult and depends on age. Begin with the height of the child in inches, squared. The low and high ends of the normal weight range, in pounds, can be calculated by multiplying by the following factors:  \n5-year-old boy: .0196 _ .0238  \n10-year-old boy: .0203 _ .0277  \n5-year-old girl: .0192 _ .0238  \n10-year-old girl: ..0199 _ .0284  \nThe CDC publishes charts that show the normal ranges of BMI for boys and girls based on age.  \nMORE ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF IDEAL WEIGHT  \nWhile these calculations can give a good estimate of where your weight should be, there are more factors to consider than just your age and height. A world-class athlete and a morbidly obese person of the same age and height might weigh the same, because the athlete is carrying a lot of weight in muscle. Other methods of determining whether someone is overweight or underweight include skin-fold thickness measurements, calculating waist-hip ratio, or estimating body fat percentage through underwater weighing, X-ray absorptiometry, or assessing bioelectrical impedance.  \nExplorer Calculator Strong, Capable, Spacious & Smart!
