Table by index of Broka

It is believed that womanhood It is fixed at the age of 18. And this number of kilograms should serve as a reference point for the rest of her life. In fact, only units manage to maintain ideal parameters due to a balanced diet, proper metabolism and regular physical exertion.

But weight also depends on other parameters. So today's editorial office. "Site" demonstrate weight-dependence for each type of female body type. We will also tell you how to calculate your weight with age.





Many years ago, there was a formula for the ideal female weight, which was calculated as follows: 110 were taken away from the height (in cm) and the desired weight was obtained. But such a simplified pattern worked correctly except for fitness models, but women with pronounced hips and chests could not fit in here. Therefore, they began to consider the type of physique.





According to French anthropologist Paul Brock, calculate the ideal female weight It is not difficult according to the above table. However, over the years, the body consumes less energy, and therefore metabolic processes slow down, fat becomes more. This leads to a set of extra pounds.

Therefore, for women over 40 years old, 10% should be added to the ideal weight indicators of the table, for women over 55 years old - 15%. It should be borne in mind that these calculations indicate the upper permissible limit of weight, by which you can determine whether a person is obese or not. Excessive thinness cannot be defined this way.





Not everyone can be assigned a particular type of body. After all, a person can have a transitional option between, say, thin and medium. However, the indicator of normal weight will not be much different here and if you gnaw doubts about extra pounds, you should contact a nutritionist.





Contacting a doctor also makes sense when the number on the scale coincides with the indicator of the ideal weight in the table, and the reflection in the mirror does not please. You may need to be tested for hormones and sugar. Due to the characteristics of the body, the indicator of ideal weight can differ in any direction.

For adolescent girls under the age of 18, it is impossible to determine the ideal weight in principle, because their body is only growing and gaining shape. Also, the indicators of the table will differ significantly in training athletes whose body fat percentage is lower than usual.





Someone carefully monitors his body and calculates ideal indicators, someone trusts the inner sensations, mirror and words of a loved one. Everyone has the right to treat their own body as they see fit. We agree that the right weight is the one with which a woman is comfortable.





Earlier, we talked about what factors affect weight fluctuations. We also warned about the risks of a sharp weight loss. And if ideal weight table for women It shows completely unattainable numbers for you, then find out what can be the cause of the appearance of extra pounds.
