The formula to determine the optimal ratio of weight and height

There are different formulas for determining the optimal ratio of weight and height. But they are all very conditional, as it does not take into account many factors: age, sex and physiological characteristics of a person. Therefore, the excess fat should be evaluated not only on the conditional correlations presented in this table, but also in appearance, the thickness of the skin and a number of other factors. At the same height and weight, one person can look full, the other completely normal.





Objective setting is an ideal body – this is the percentage of fat, bone and muscle tissue. For men the norm is 9 — 15% fat of the total body mass, and for women from 12 to 20%.

Index Celetna the body mass Index (BMI), to judge obesity or underweight. The index is calculated for adult men and women 20 to 65 years. The results can be false for pregnant and lactating women, athletes, the elderly and adolescents (under 18 years). Among the many different methods of calculating ideal weight is the most popular method is growth-weighted index, body mass index — Quetelet index.

Formula: body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared/(R*R)

For example: height 170 cm, weight 65 kg. So, 65: (1.7 * 1.7) = 22.5

The norm for men is 19-25. For women — 19-24.

The Quetelet index shows a good amount of fat in the body, but does not specify how the fat is distributed, in other words, does not give the visual aesthetic of the picture. But you can test your body to the ideality of another formula.

The distribution of fat throughout the body is determined by the ratio of the waist (at the navel) divided by the volume of the buttocks.

  • The norm for men: 0,85
  • For women: 0,65 — 0,85.
Does the age on the ratio height-weight?The answer is simple. Yes, of course influences. Proven weight men and women with age should gradually increase is a normal physiological process. Pounds, which some people consider "extra", in fact can not be. Can be used to determine the optimal weight formula depending on age.

R — in this case, growth, and age in years. Body weight = 50 + 0,75 (R — 150) + (V — 20): 4

The formula of Broca: identify the relationship height-for-age-Vestnik of the most popular methods of calculating ideal weight is the formula of Brock. It takes into account the ratio of height, weight, body type and age.

Formula Broca for people younger than 40 years is "the growth (in cm) minus 110" after 40 years — "the growth (in cm) minus 100".

The people with asthenic (thin-boned) body type — from the result subtract 10%, and people with hypersthenic (big-boned) body type — need to add to the score 10%.

 

How to determine your body type?Body type is usually divided into THREE types:

  • normosthenic,
  • hypersthenic,
  • asthenic.
In order to know your body type, it is sufficient to measure centimeter of the circumference of the thin places on the wrist. The resulting circumference in inches and metric (Solovyov index).

 

The Index Solovyov

Body type

Typical for this body type

for men

for women

18-20 cm

15-17 cm

normosthenic (normal)

body type is proportion of the main dimensions and their correct ratio

more than 20 cm

more than 17 cm

hypersthenic (big-boned)

In people with hypersthenic (big-boned) body type transverse dimensions of the body much more than normostenikov and especially astenikov. Their bones are thick and heavy, shoulders, chest and hips broad, legs short.

less than 18 cm

less than 15 cm

asthenic (thin-boned)

In people with asthenic (thin-boned) body type, the longitudinal dimensions prevail over cross: legs are long, thin bone, the neck is long, thin, muscles are poorly developed.

 

Formula Nagler for the ratio of growth and wassomewhat formula Nagler that allows you to calculate the perfect ratio of weight and height. At 152.4 cm of growth should have 45 pounds of weight. For every inch (i.e. 2.45 cm) over 152.4 cm should be another 900 grams, Plus 10% of the weight.

 

The formula of John McCallum, the ratio ashatovna of the best formulas created by an expert methodologist John McCallum. Formula McCallum is based on the measurement of the circumference of the wrist.

1. 6.5 wrist circumference equal to the circumference of the chest.

2. 85% of the chest girth equal to the circumference of the hips.

3. To get the waist, you need to take 70% of the chest girth.

4. 53% of the chest girth equal to the circumference of the hips.

5. For neck girth you need to take 37% of chest girth.

6. Circumference of bicep is about 36% of the chest girth.

7. The girth of the calf a little less than 34%.

8. Girth of the forearm must be equal to 29% of the chest girth.

 

But not all the physique will be the same data as ratios, the numbers have been averaged, the average value.

 

Several variants of the ratios of height and weight
  • Body type is considered ideal if the waist is 25 cm less than the circumference of the hips and hip is approximately equal to the circumference of the chest.
  • Waist girth should be equal to "height in cm — 100". That is, the woman is an increase of 172 cm is folded in proportion, if the waist is 72 cm, hip circumference and waist is about 97 cm, that is, if she wears clothing size 48.
  • If the circumference of the hips smaller chest girth, and waist girth less than the girth of the hips 20 cm, such a figure is called "Apple". If the bust is less than the circumference of the hips and the waist less thigh girth 30 cm or more is the figure of the type "pear".
  • For women and girls of average height — from 165 to 175 cm — this observation was fair. Their waist circumference in inches is approximately equal to weight in kilograms. One kilogram of weight loss gives the decrease in the waist by one centimeter.
As you can see, there are many ways to calculate the optimum ratio of growth and body mass, depending on various factors. But whichever way you have not done the calculation, most importantly, to your weight was COMFORTABLE for you. To you easily and freely feel in your own body, love yourself and enjoy life to the full! — not falling into depression from the fact that the calculations you have (and suddenly!) showed a "surplus" or "deficiency" pounds.published
