Calculate ideal weight online. How to calculate excess weight? In women with such a figure

The ratio of height and weight in women is what determines the physique, the features of the female figure. There are tables by which you can determine the optimal ratio of these parameters. In any calculations, it is important to take into account the type of figure, the state of health and the age of the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity.

Nutritionists note that the weight that she had at the age of 18 can be considered optimal for a woman. If this figure changes slightly, it is easier for a woman to maintain health, beautiful toned skin and aesthetic figure. It is important to understand that every 10 years body weight increases by about 10 percent. This is due to the fact that the movement in life becomes less, hormonal changes contribute to an increase in body fat. In old age, on the contrary, body weight decreases, because muscle tone is lost.

You can not strive for ideal weight with the help of diets alone. If you do not take into account the state of health, do not give the body the right physical activity, you can not wait for the result.

Measuring your height correctly

If measuring your weight is not difficult, then when measuring height, you need to take into account some features in order to do everything right.

Stand with your back against a wall. Together with the back against the wall you need to press:

• back of the head;
• shoulder blades;
• buttocks;
• caviar;
• heels.

How we measure growth:

• we stand exactly against the wall, all the necessary parts of the body are pressed against the wall;
• with an even bar (ruler, hard book) touch the top of the head, mark this place;
• measure the resulting distance.

Height above 176 cm is considered too high, height from 168 to 175 cm - high, from 157 to 167 cm - medium, from 151 cm to 156 cm - below average and less than 150 cm - low.

We determine the physique

The physique depends on a certain combination of weight and height of a woman. For a woman weighing 70 kg with a height of 172 cm, the weight will be optimal, and for a woman with the same weight with a height of 155 cm, these kilograms will be clearly superfluous.

There are three types of human physique:

1. Dense physique (hypersthenic type). This physique includes women with the so-called "broad bone". They have a large chest, hips, long legs and neck. In this case, fat deposits can be practically not observed. Women of this type have a low metabolic rate. Wrist circumference greater than 17 cm.
2. Medium build (normosthenic type). Normal physique. Ideal weight calculation tables are perfect for this average type. Women of this type have a wrist circumference of 16 - 17 cm.
3. frail body ( asthenic type). Such women have a “thin bone”, narrow hips, shoulders, and a general physique that is thin. It is not a problem for the asthenic type to clasp your wrist in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe bone (the thickness of the wrist is less than 16 cm). This type has a high metabolic rate.

The ideal weight of a woman, taking into account the physique, height, weight and age

Determine your body type, and only then refer to the data in the table. If you have a hypersthenic physique, it is difficult and unsafe for you to strive for a weight that is optimal for the asthenic type.

The proportions of the figure depending on the physique

There is definite classification types of figures, depending on the ratio of the size of the hips and chest. You can determine what type your figure belongs to “by eye”, but it is better to measure the hip circumference and divide it by the chest circumference.

Type X

This type of physique includes women whose hip to chest ratio is equal to or less than 0.75. This type is called "hourglass", the top of the body is approximately equal to the bottom. Asthenics and normosthenics can afford such a figure. Maintain body shape physical exercises on the press and hips.

Type A

In women of this type, the girth of the hips to the chest is greater than 1.05. This type of figure is called a "pear" or "triangle". With such a figure, a woman has narrow shoulders, chest, waist, but wide hips. To maintain a figure, it is important to do exercises on the hips and buttocks.

There are many factors that determine the ratio of weight and height in men and women. Even when you dream about the desired appearance, you can not focus on general parameters, because the values ​​​​are relative. Experts recommend calculating an individual indicator of the ratio of parameters, and there are many ways to do this.

Methods for calculating the ratio of height and weight

The ideal ratio of body parameters is calculated by various formulas. All of them are conditional, because they do not take into account some factors. Even an obvious excess of fat is necessarily evaluated not only by the derived coefficients presented in the tables. The thickness of the skin and subcutaneous fat, appearance and a number of other indicators are taken into account. The main methods for calculating the ratio of body parameters:

Method of calculation (index, formula)	Peculiarities	Advantages	Flaws
Quetelet index	body mass index is calculated, revealing the degree of obesity	it is possible to assess the risks of developing diseases	the formula is true for average people (not athletes)
McCallum formula	proportional body measurements are calculated	according to the parameters obtained, you can achieve the perfect appearance	calculation method has some variability
Accounting for body volumes using the Lorentz formula		simplicity of the method	does not take into account the presence of physical activity, age and other indicators
Accounting for body type	body type is calculated from the ratio of height with leg length	knowing the type of figure, you can make timely adjustments appearance	other parameters are not taken into account
Accounting for the circumference of the wrist	according to the size of the wrist, the characteristic of the physique is also calculated	helps to determine the shape of the figure	does not indicate the presence or absence of obesity
Age accounting	average body parameters are given taking into account age	helps to know correct weight according to the age	averages

Quetelet index

Due to its simplicity, the Quetelet coefficient is one of the most popular ways to calculate parameters. Body mass index (BMI) indicates overweight, helps to assess the risk of developing diseases associated with it. The Quetelet coefficient is calculated as follows: BMI = weight (kg) divided by (height (m)) squared. WHO interpretation of results:

less than 18.5 kg/m²- deficiency of body weight;

• 18.5–25 kg/m²– norm;
• 25–30 kg/m²- overweight;
• over 30 kg/m²- obesity.

McCallum formula

The proportionality of your figure can be quickly found out by the McCallum formula. It is based on measuring the size of the girth of the wrist and calculating the harmonious ratios of other parts of the body. Based on this indicator, ideal proportions are calculated (girth in cm):

6.5 x Wrist = Bust;

• 85% bust (OH) = pelvis;
• 70% OG = waist;
• 53% OH = thigh;
• 37% OG = neck;
• 36% OG = biceps;
• 34% OG = drumstick;
• 29% chest = forearm.

Table of height and weight, taking into account body volumes

The ratio of height and weight in men and women is calculated according to the Lorenzo formula - it was developed back in 1929. The calculation is suitable for people over 18 years old with a height of 140-220 cm. Lorenzo's ideal weight formula:

Depending on body type

There are three body types in total: asthenic (or thin-boned), normosthenic (normal) and hypersthenic (broad-boned).

Height (in cm)	Men (weight, kg)			Women (weight, kg)
		Normostenik	Hypersthenic		Normostenik	Hypersthenic

Based on the circumference of the wrist

You can find out your body type by the size of your wrist. Use a centimeter to measure its circumference. Compare the results of measurements with tabular indicators:

Body characteristic	Men (cm)	Women (cm)
Asthenic (thin bone)
Normostenik
Hypersthenic (thick bone)

1. First, the value is calculated basal metabolic rate (BMO) according to one of the selected formulas. Designations in formulas:

• m - weight (kg);
• h - height (cm);
• a - age (years).

Muffin-Jeor Formula

For women:

SBI \u003d 10 * m + 6.25 * h - 5 * a - 161

For men:

SBI \u003d 10 * m + 6.25 * h - 5 * a + 5

Harris-Benedict Formula

For women:

BOO = 655.1 + 9.563*m + 1.85*h - 4.676*a

For men:

BOO = 66.5 + 13.75*m + 5.003*h - 6.775*a

k = 1.375 - 1-3 times a week

k = 1.4625 - 4-5 times a week

k = 1.550 - Intensively 4-5 times a week

k = 1.6375 – Every day

k = 1.725 – Every day intensively

k = 1.9 - Hard physical work

The daily calorie intake for maintaining weight is calculated by the formula:

Calorie norm \u003d k * BOO

At the same time, the daily calorie intake for weight loss is 80% of the calorie intake for maintaining weight.

Body mass index (BMI)

The body mass index is calculated using the Quetelet formula (here height is taken in meters):

The resulting value is compared with tabular data:

Ideal weight

Ideal weight (IM) is calculated by several methods (Brock's formula, Humvee's formula, Devin's formula) and then the average value is taken.

Brock's formula

For women:

IM = (h - 110)*1.15

For men:

IM = (h - 100)*1.15

Humvee formula

For women:

IM = 45.5 + 2.2*(0.393701*h - 60)

For men:

IM = 48 + 2.7*(0.393701*h - 60)

Devin Formula

For women:

IM = 45.5 + 2.3*(0.393701*h - 60)

For men:

IM = 50 + 2.3*(0.393701*h - 60)

Calculation example

Let's take as an example 28-year-old girl Anastasia, who weighs 75 kg and is 173 cm tall. Anastasia visits the gym 2 times a week. Body mass index in this case.

I am 39 years old .. My weight with a height of 1.64 61 kg is this normal or too much ??

Girls, sports are a must, no matter what age you are! Anna writes that after the operation, doctors do not allow her, and so - I had two abdominal operations, after the second operation, three days of resuscitation, serious problems with the cervicothoracic spine and the doctors also said that you should not strain, etc. They treated me to the 2nd group of disability ... .. and abandoned me. Weight has always been below normal, although skinny never looked. To make it shorter, I’ll say that after a long torment, I went in for sports according to the Bubnovsky system, I have been doing it since 2012, now I’m 55 years old, weight 60 kg, height 166 cm. No stomach, no folds, cellulite and everything else is not observed)))) )) Ira said correctly, you can weigh 52 kg, but if the muscles are flabby, then the view will not be so hot. So, Anya, stop torturing yourself with all sorts of diets, find Bubnovsky’s gymnastics on the Internet, start practicing and. believe me. you will want to live!)))) These are not just words, it has been tested on yourself. I couldn't walk without outside help, but now I just fly! Good luck to all of you!))))) And, by the way, I never tortured myself with diets, only after the operation I stuck to it. I am for separate nutrition: if proteins - then only with vegetables, carbohydrates in the same way - with vegetables. And carbohydrates - the first half of the day. proteins - the second half of the day.

Well, I lost weight from 60 to 49 (49,500). And again I almost lost my life. Now the size of jeans is 25, I wear XXS-XS. Growth, of course, remained the same :-) But all this would please if it were carbohydrate-free and fat-free I didn’t lose my hair on a diet. In a few days, so much fell out that almost nothing was left on my head. In addition, the weight will keep getting close to the 50kg mark. Only due to the fact that my stomach and body no longer need normal portions of food , and I don’t eat much, I still hold on to 49 kg. Personally, I don’t consider myself a skeleton, but my colleagues say that I have a disease, since I still don’t see the real picture: that I have turned into a bag of bones. But I’m crazy I feel sorry for my hair. I am very bitter. An even deeper depression has developed. I no longer have happiness from any weight loss. thick. Everyone went crazy with envy. looks and a complete lack of desire to live. It sounds terrible, but it’s true. I lost all life orientations, strength (even just walking), lost my memory (literally), lost the incentive to live ... for her sake. After work and on weekends, you need to stand in the yard for hours and look after her, you need to do homework with her, you need to meet her in the evenings at school, you need to drag bags from shops, you need to cook for her ... All this became simply unbearable. And before she even happily ran and walked with her, and did her homework with pleasure, and supervised everything perfectly. Now I just forget everything. I’m already ashamed in front of people. They look at me strangely. I will work again. how much she dropped with such inhuman efforts I don’t take so much again. After all, I didn’t starve myself, but refused fats and carbohydrates, which, in fact, should be done if you want to lose weight. I will again be a donut with thick cheeks, but without hair. this ... Now colleagues are only gloating: “Well, I’ve lost weight, and now you’ll spend a lot of money on recovery ...”. I have already spent a tidy sum on vitamins and drugs. I pear also on the strongest stresses that I have experienced in recent months. In general, my whole life is one big stress, however, age is age, and with age I began to hardly endure everything that was previously perceived and overcome much easier. So it all started before the new year. Day after day I became getting worse and worse. I stopped sleeping, lost my appetite, stopped loving myself. new year holidays it only got worse. And after the holiday, I was already in a severe depression and I myself was aware that sooner or later something bad would happen to me. sadness under the car. So I got sick so much that I was barely alive. Colleagues did not understand what had suddenly happened to me, why I had changed so dramatically and from a cheerful little girl turned into such a heartbroken person. and hair ... It takes at least 5 years for them to recover. And this is with a balanced diet and complete peace. And I can only dream of peace. At home, relatives tyrannize me so much that I myself wonder how I even lived to be 32 years old. and oprah, it would be easier for me to bring all the problems at work. But it turns out that I have been alone all my life and for myself. The failure of all life systems was simply inevitable.

My height is 1.67 and I weigh 52 kg. My hips and stomach are bulging from fat

I am no taller than 160 cm, 32 years old, a woman who has given birth; the work is very monotonous, office work. For 6 years I recovered to almost 60 kg. Normosthenic physique. Narrow shoulders and generally narrow, but, alas, not thin. I’ve always been (my mother’s Eastern Genes). I’m like Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. passed with difficulty. And although all the neighbors continued to call me petite and thin, it was disgusting to look at myself and the mirror. Moreover, all this is fat, and not just a wide bone, covered with a thin layer of skin. Here is my aunt, approx. so. Everyone says, skeleton, painful, but I like it so much. More than when she was at her normal weight, but for some reason she looks like a rock (especially against the background of my family, where everyone is small and narrow-boned). weighed, but so much, too. I don’t have the opportunity to play sports and I don’t want to. a couple of weeks, everything will float again and even get worse. Yes, and I’m a dolt. my narrow constitution, I became a non-existent size, looked like a cancer patient or a first-grader, people whispered unkindly behind my back. But I also liked 45. The best weight, as I noticed, for almost everyone is 50. in him. Neither proper nutrition nor restriction helped a single gram. At the same time, there didn’t seem to be a gaomonas deviation either. I didn’t eat or drink and lost 6 kg. Now I weigh 52-53, no way lower. It’s worth at least a piece of something to eat, plus 1 kg, drink a little more water, plus 1 kg. I’m already emaciated. All clothes 44 are simply huge. Now I wear 40-42 and I myself understand that, of course, it’s better this way. And my cheeks have become much smaller (and they are very big on their own). 48-50 will be fine! I can. So it's all about the constitution and from the fat layer. My colleague does not scratch much, tries to lose weight, but the figure is an inverted triangle. body and hands even thin ones. I think her legs won’t get thinner, but I’m losing weight from head to toe in proportion. Even the hands and head circumference, feet. All gloves and balls are big. I'm just sharing my story.

I old man, I am over 60, I now weigh 58, height 150. 7 years ago I weighed 75 kg, fell ill and spent 4 months in the hospital, where I lost weight to 48 kg and looked like a skeleton covered with skin, although by all accounts I had normal weight. So everything is individual. Now I want to lose 3 kg, but not more.

I am over 50, weighed 75, after a long illness I lost weight to 48, my height is 150 now (it was more in my youth). So, despite the supposedly “normal” weight, I looked like a skeleton covered with skin. Now, after 6 years, I weigh 58 kg, I look normal, however, I want to lose 3 kg, I will be even more normal, but not more, so as not to turn into a skeleton again. So everything is individual.

Kick-Ass! Has everyone gone crazy?

with a height of 166, you can weigh 66 kg, if you don’t hang anything in sports. you can weigh 56 kg without sports, you will have both sides and stomach. Say she lost weight to 52 and is still not slim, which means she was losing mostly muscles, not fat.

Some nonsense. With a height of 166, the normal weight is from 52 to 66? My girlfriend had a weight of 56, and there were folds of fat on her back, thick sides and folds under her breasts, at the same time her stomach hung. So is it normal for a height of 166? She has now lost weight to 52 and still does not look like a slender birch.

Do I need to lose weight? Before making such a decision, calculate your ideal weight, the value of which, among other things, depends on age, gender, body type, level of physical activity, profession, water balance, etc.

Before you begin to reduce excess body weight, you need to answer yourself one simple but very important question: “Do I need to lose weight at all?” Often excessive pursuit perfect figure ends with health problems and mental breakdowns. Remember that the ideal weight is the one you feel most comfortable with. If you wake up in the morning and feel healthy and happy, if you look at your own reflection in the mirror, and you like it, if you are happy, efficient, positive, self-confident - then is there any point in changing something? What for? To meet the standards that the media imposes on us?

If you are serious about the problem of normalization of weight and the improvement of health associated with this, then you should approach this task wisely, having previously obtained the necessary knowledge.

So, the body mass index (BMI), invented by the Belgian sociologist and statistician Adolphe Quetelet, is recognized throughout the world as the simplest and most adequate indicator that allows you to quickly assess body weight. BMI is recommended by WHO as the main criterion for assessing nutritional status, especially when conducting large-scale screenings.

Body mass index (BMI) - a value that allows you to assess the correspondence of body weight to a person's height:

BMI (kg / m 2) \u003d Body weight (kg) / Body height (m 2)

But, like all simple and available methods, the calculation of BMI has its drawbacks. It should be borne in mind that excessive or insufficient muscle development can affect the accuracy of determining BMI.

How to correctly evaluate the result, taking into account age, gender and physical condition? Below are the answers to the 4 most common questions about ideal weight.

4 most common questions about ideal weight

1. Does the value of the ideal weight depend on age?

Yes it depends. Over the years, the intensity of metabolic processes in the body naturally decreases (by 0.5% per year). Therefore, it is obvious: in order to maintain your ideal weight with age, you must either reduce the calorie content of the daily diet every year, or increase physical activity. Failure to do so simple rule lead to overweight, and subsequently to obesity.

2. Does the value of the ideal weight depend on the physique?

Yes it depends. Before you start calculating your ideal weight, you need to determine your body type.

The physique is of 3 types:

• asthenic,
• normosthenic,
• hypersthenic.

Solovyov's index allows you to determine the type of physique by the girth of the wrist (in centimeters).

Asthenic (thin-boned). The circumference of the wrist in women is less than 16 cm, in men it is less than 18 cm.

People with an asthenic body type are thin, not inclined to be overweight due to an accelerated metabolism, they are distinguished by narrow hips and chest. As a rule, growth is not lower than average, with elongated limbs and a "swan" neck. They may suffer from a lack of strength and endurance, complex due to excessive thinness (and this problem is much more difficult to solve than being overweight).

Normosthenic. The circumference of the wrist for women is 15-17 cm, for men 18-20 cm.

Those who are lucky enough to have a normosthenic type are proportionately built, usually of average height.

Hypersthenic. The circumference of the wrist in women is more than 17 cm, in men it is more than 20 cm.

Women of a hypersthenic physique can safely justify themselves that they have a wide bone. Their bones are really heavy, such ladies have broad shoulders, a massive chest and long legs. They can safely choose professions where physical strength and endurance are needed. It is this one that will stop a galloping horse, and enter a burning hut.

3. Does the value of the ideal weight depend on gender?

Yes, it depends.

Calculation of the ideal weight using the Lorenz formula(taking into account gender and height).

Ideal weight for men = (height - 100) - (height - 152) x 0.2.

Ideal weight for women = (height - 100) - (height - 152) x 0.4.

Height in centimeters, weight in kilograms.

Example.

For a man with a height of 160 cm, the ideal weight is calculated as follows:

(160 - 100) - (160 - 152) x 0.2 = 60 - 8 x 0.2 = 60 - 1.6 = 58.4 kg

For a woman with a height of 160 cm, the ideal weight is calculated as follows:

(160 - 100) - (160 - 152) x 0.4 = 60 - 8 x 0.4 = 60 - 3.2 = 56.8 kg

As you can see, with the same height ideal mass body differs by gender.

4. What formulas for calculating the ideal weight are the most accurate?

The most accurate are formulas that take into account gender, age, physique (at least height) or special tables developed by hygienists.

Broca's method, named after a French doctor in the late 19th century, is the most popular method for quickly assessing weight.

Broca's formula for people with a normal physique:
weight (ideal) = height - 100 (with height less than 165 cm);

weight (ideal) = height - 105 (with a height of 166 - 175 cm);

weight (ideal) = height - 110 (with height above 175 cm).
If you have an asthenic body type, then the result obtained is reduced by 10%, with a hypersthenic body type, increase by 10%.

Example.

With a height of 170 cm, the ideal weight for normosthenics will be: 170 - 105 = 65 kg

For asthenics: 58.5 kg (-10%).

For hypersthenics: 71.5 kg (+ 10%).

P.S. Now you can calm down: not everyone is given by nature to have model parameters, do not demand the impossible from yourself. Everyone has their own ideal weight.
