The formula for calculating normal body weight

No matter what age women are, they are very concerned about their weight and hope to look slimmer, because being thinner will make them more beautiful. However, after many women reach a certain age, due to the slowdown of their body's basal metabolism, it is easy to cause excessive calorie intake at this time, which is easy to accumulate in the body and form fat. At this time, you will find that some middle-aged women have obvious signs of obesity. Being overweight not only affects your image, but also your health. So what weight is normal for women at the age of 40? What is the method for calculating a person's normal weight? Let's take a look.

How to calculate normal human weight

The standard method of calculating body weight is to use one's own weight in kilograms and divide it by the square of the height in meters. If the individual's standard value is between 18.4 and 24, it is considered to be normal weight. A value slightly higher than 24 is considered to be too heavy, and if it is higher than 28, it is called obesity. In addition, if the personal income value is less than 18.4, the person is of thin body type.

Whether a person's weight is healthy or not depends on his height. If a person's weight is more appropriate at a certain height, then he is healthy. Normal weight = [height (cm) - 100] * 0.9. According to this formula, if a person's height is 165 cm, then his standard weight should be 58.5 kg.

After calculating the above weight standard, we need to judge whether our weight is healthy. Generally speaking, if the actual weight is within 10% of the weight standard, it is a normal weight, and once it exceeds 20%, it is obesity. Therefore, when you reach the age of 40, you should also judge whether your weight is reasonable based on your height, and don't blindly think that you are too fat.

Obesity in middle-aged and elderly people can be alleviated by taking certain effective measures. Let’s learn about it together.

The first is a healthy diet. If you find that you have gained weight significantly, in many cases it is due to an unscientific diet, so we need to control our weight through effective methods. It is recommended that obese people eat more high-protein foods and low-calorie foods. If they still like to eat high-fat foods, it is easy for the body to absorb too much fat, and of course it is easy to gain weight. Obese female friends can usually choose foods with a strong sense of satiety and low calories to eat.
