As we know, there is no limit to perfection. This is especially true for standards of female beauty. Many young ladies are especially concerned about the question of what the ideal height-to-weight ratio should be. To get closer to the ideal, girls torture themselves with various diets and spend many hours in gyms.
However, not every young lady is able to immediately answer the question of what weight should be if she is 170 or 158 centimeters tall. Here you will have to do some calculations. There are different methods.
What should be the ratio of height and weight
Honestly, the norm of weight and height for women is a very individual indicator, because there are many additional parameters. For example, some people have a so-called wide bone, while others have highly developed muscle mass. To find out about growth, all this data must be taken into account. Also, measurements will be quite approximate for those who have not yet finished growing (teenagers), as well as for women who are in an “interesting position.” In these cases there is no need to talk about ideals at all.
How to correctly determine your height
The first step is to correctly measure your own height. To do this, you need to stand with your back to a sheer wall and lean against it. You must have at least five touch points:
- back of the head;
- protruding parts of the blades;
- buttocks;
- calf muscles;
- heels.
If at least one of these points does not touch the wall, then you are standing incorrectly. In this case, the measurements cannot be considered completely correct.
Place a flat plank, ruler or book on the top of your head and ask someone to draw a line where the object touches the wall. Now, using a measuring tape, measure the distance from the floor to the mark. The result obtained can be assessed as follows:
- 150 cm or less - short stature;
- 151-156 cm - below average;
- 157-167 cm - average height;
- 168-175 cm - tall;
- 176 cm is very tall for a woman.
Special tables will help you find out what your weight should be for a height corresponding to your measured height. However, this result cannot be considered completely correct. The fact is that not every table takes into account all the necessary parameters.
Body types: what are they?
The proportions of weight and height in women depend on many parameters, for example, there are three types:
- Asthenic. Another name is thin-boned. People of this type have very thin, long and fragile limbs. Their height is usually above average. They also have rather narrow hips and shoulders, as well as a small chest. Asthenics most often have an accelerated metabolism, so they are quite thin. If people of this type begin to eat a lot, then the weight will increase very slowly. They say about such people: “a boyish figure.”
- Normosthenic - normal. Such young ladies are the luckiest, since everything in their body is proportional: the bones are of medium thickness, the shoulders and hips are quite wide, and the waist is much narrower in comparison. The metabolism of this type of woman is moderate. With a normal diet, all kilocalories are completely consumed, but you should not overeat, as there is a risk of quickly ruining your figure.
- Hypersthenic - wide bone. This type of person has rather wide and massive bones. Externally, this is clearly visible: wide hips and shoulders, short neck and legs, massive chest. This guy had the worst luck. The metabolism of such people is slow, and with incorrect nutrition, weight will be gained at lightning speed.
Since the normal weight and height for women depends primarily on their body type, it is necessary to determine it correctly. This is quite easy to do. To do this, you just need to measure the circumference of your wrist. Since this is the only part of the body on which fat is practically not deposited, such measurements can be trusted. So:
- 16 cm or less - you are asthenic;
- 16-18.5 cm - you have a completely normal build;
- 18.5 cm or more - you have a wide bone.
Leg length
In addition to the correct ratio of weight and height, for a beautiful figure it is also important to have good proportions. Since height mainly depends on the length of the legs, this parameter is also important. Of course, the length of the legs is quite difficult to correct; you will have to be content with what nature gave.
Usually they occur in asthenic young ladies or women of normal type. The legs should be measured from the floor to the protruding mound (if there are no problems with weight, then it is clearly visible).
For a figure to be considered proportional, the length of a girl’s legs must be at least half her height. It is customary to consider the parameters at which the length of the legs is more than 1/2 of the height by several centimeters:
- 2-4 cm - for hypersthenics;
- 4-6 cm - for a normal build;
- 6-9 cm - for asthenics.
If nature does not spoil you with long legs, then this deficiency can be corrected by wearing high heels.
Age also needs to be taken into account
In addition to these factors, it is also necessary to take into account the woman’s age. The fact is that the weight norm for a height of 175 will be different for women who have celebrated their fiftieth birthday and for twenty-year-old girls. This is due to the level of metabolism. The younger the girl, the taller he is. Accordingly, the standards vary.
How to determine the correct ratio of your weight and height
For this, there are many different formulas and tables that take into account different factors. Which one to choose is up to you. To determine your ideal weight for height yourself, you can use, for example, Brock’s formula. The calculation will be quick, but quite approximate. To do this, you just need to correctly measure your own height and subtract 100 cm from the result obtained in centimeters. This will be the desired weight.
As you understand, the norm of weight and height for women calculated in this way is very approximate, because the calculation does not take into account either the body type or, in fact, the age of the person. Therefore, to adjust the result, you can safely subtract another 7-10%.
Quetelet's formula
Those who are interested in the norms of weight and height for women can use, for example, Quetelet’s formula, which takes into account all the necessary parameters. The formula is not too complicated, anyone can apply it:
- M = 0.75 x (P - 150) + 50 + (B - 20) : 4.
All the letters here are intuitively clear: M - body mass; B - age; R - human height.
To do an additional check, you can also calculate BMI (in the English version of BMI), which stands for or in another way. This is very simple to do:
IR = B: P 2.
The letters, of course, indicate weight and height, respectively, only in this case height must be measured in meters. Depending on what number you received, we evaluate the results:
- 18.5 or less - you are clearly underweight, you urgently need to gain a few kilograms;
- 18.6-24.9 - your weight can be considered normal, there are no medical indications for losing weight;
- 25-29.9 - sad, but your weight cannot be called normal, so for good health and a beautiful figure you still need to lose a couple of kilograms;
- 30-34.9 - you have clear signs of first-degree obesity; if you do not want to have many health problems, then immediately go to the gym;
- above 35 - second degree obesity; Most likely, in the near future you will need the help of a doctor, since at this weight your health deteriorates significantly;
- above 40 - you simply need the help of a nutritionist; you are unlikely to be able to lose weight on your own.
Weight and height norms: table for women
Since all the ratios of the parameters of the human body have long been calculated by nutritionists and simply caring enthusiasts, you can determine your personal ideal weight using one of the many ready-made tables. To get the most accurate result, choose tables that take into account the largest number of parameters. When using them, it is worth remembering that the data for men and women is most often different, so be careful.
There is another very simple and affordable way to determine whether it’s time for you to lose weight. You need to divide your waist size, measured in centimeters, by your hip size. If the result obtained is less than 0.8, everything is in order, you do not need a diet. Those with readings ranging from 0.81 to 0.84 should think about their diet. Well, for those who have this figure greater than or equal to 0.85, it’s time to see a nutritionist - you are obese.
“We live in society, we play society.” From birth, a person finds himself in a complex environment with its own laws and rules. When a little girl is given a Barbie doll and told that this is the ideal for a girl, most parents do not think that they are zombifying their child.
Modern media imposes a certain image of an ideal figure, forcing most women to strive for this dubious conformity. Is this necessary? What weight should I be and at what height? Is excessive thinness normal and how can such weight loss affect a woman’s health?
First of all, when “going on a diet” you need to think about the medical aspect of this decision. There are certain medical standards for matching a person's height and weight.
These indicators vary for different body types.
Initially, you need to determine what type you are, and based on this, calculate the ideal weight for your figure. With the thumb and index finger of one hand, grab the wrist of the other. If your fingers are not just closed, but you can close them freely overlapping, then you have a thin-boned or asthenic physique.
This is the same physique that we are told about on TV and we see on the covers of magazines. Women of this type are characterized by thin bones, long legs and underdeveloped muscles, tall stature and low weight. At the same time, “Barbie” does not have to go on any kind of diet, even with a high-calorie diet, the weight of such women can increase very slightly, because energy expenditure burns all accumulated calories.
If the index finger and thumb are closed, as they say, end to end, it means that you have a normal or normasthenic physique and you are very lucky, because you can easily control your weight and have the correct body proportions. In order to get better, it is enough to increase your diet a little, and to lose weight, do a little exercise.
The picture becomes a little more complicated if the fingers were not closed. This means that you have a large-boned or hypersthenic physique and you have to work harder to achieve an ideal figure than asthenics and normasthenics. You are characterized by: broad bones, broad shoulders and chest. You have to exercise more and limit yourself in nutrition; achieving and maintaining your ideal weight comes with great effort.
So, having determined your body type, you can begin to calculate the ideal weight for your figure.
Ideal parameters
The normal weight index is not the same for men and women. For women: 18-24, and for men: 19-25. If your body index is less than the indicated indicators, it means you are underweight or underweight; an index exceeding the indicators indicates overweight or obesity.
Let's move on to the calculation. The simplest way to subtract from the height value for a normal physique is 110, for asthenics -115 (or minus 10%), for a large-boned physique - 100 (or plus 10%). The method is reliable only for women with a height of more than 170 cm.
Let's give the calculation for a height of 177 cm.
Normal body type: 177 – 110 = 67
Small boned body: 177 – 115 = 62 or 67 – 6.7 = 60.3
Big boned body: 177 – 100 = 77 or 67 + 6.7 = 73.7
To obtain your weight index, divide your own weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.
Here are the calculations for a height of 177 cm and a weight of 55 kg.
55/(1.77*1.77) = 17.56
The weight index turned out to be below 18, which allows me to gain a little weight.
Another method is more related to the average density of the human body. A person who is 152.4 cm tall should weigh 45 kg. For every subsequent 2.45 cm, 0.9 kg is added and 10% of the weight is added to the final result. Such complex calculations are due to the fact that the original formula corresponded to other units of measurement of weight and height.
Let's do the calculation for a height of 167 cm.
As a result, we find that for a height of 167 cm, the ideal weight is 55.4 kg.
It is easiest to carry out calculations for a normal physique. With this ratio of parameters for women, waist size is equal to height minus 100.
Each person is unique and weight is as individual for each of us as our face. A healthy person is always beautiful; you shouldn’t lose your health in pursuit of Barbie.
There is no such thing as perfect :)
For height 167, it would be nice to be from 55 to 62.
With this weight, the body does not get tired; if the weight were greater, it would be harder to move, run and live in general. But this is not suitable for every person. Therefore, what is more comfortable is better.
According to all plates - 55-57. I think 50-55 is better. but a lot still depends on the build.
I think that the ideal weight for a girl whose height is about 167 cm is approximately 50 - 60 kilograms.
I have a height of 167 and I can say that when I weighed 62 kilograms, I felt fat because I had both sides and a stomach, which is not very beautiful. Now I weigh 53 kilograms and am happy with my figure.
But I can say that this is all individual, some girls like it when they are very thin, or feel normal even at 62 kilograms. The same can be said about guys.
There is a buyer for every product.
Ideal weight is the weight at which you feel good. And you can calculate it if you subtract 110 from the height value and this will be your ideal weight (167-110). All this is of course approximately. Although I have an ideal weight, I prefer a thin physique.
Having a normal weight with a height of 167 cm does not mean being slim, athletic and fit. Weight with a height of 167 cm should fluctuate between 62-72 kg, but these indicators do not always mean an ideal figure.
Weight and related problems are a real scourge of the 21st century. A person's weight problem is not always related to the presence of excess pounds, sometimes it's all about being underweight, which makes a person not very attractive.
The problem has two vectors: on the one hand, there are people who strive to lose the pounds they have gained, become slim and improve their health by becoming more active. On the other hand, the problem of weight loss leads to the appearance of such a disease as anorexia, which has become a real problem for parents of teenagers who, in order to become slimmer, refuse food, literally leading themselves to starvation. Although at present there are many mature adults who are trying to correct their self-inflicted problem of excess weight with hunger. Both obesity and anorexia are extremely dangerous conditions. A person who has a large amount of excess weight risks developing diseases of the cardiovascular system, diabetes and many other diseases.
Overweight people often experience moral and physical discomfort, cannot lead a full social life and try to attract attention to themselves as little as possible. Excess weight is depressing, so all available means are used to combat it, but, as a rule, the desire to eat high-calorie foods leads to a lack of changes and only a complete abandonment of the usual way of life can solve the problem. With anorexia, everything is even more complicated, since with prolonged refusal of food, the digestive system stops accepting it, vitamin deficiencies, degeneration of tissues and bones develop, and the appearance of stomach and intestinal ulcers is also possible. Treatment of anorexia is a long process that requires the intervention of both psychologists and doctors to treat both the psychological component and the physical consequences.
So, the problem of weight, both excess and not enough - how to find the golden mean? There is such a thing as body mass index, which reflects weight parameters in relation to height. Body mass index reflects the normal limits at a certain weight. In addition, when identifying the ideal ratio, you also need to pay attention to the volume, because even with normal weight, you can have very impressive volumes and vice versa.
You can find out what the normal weight will be with a height of, for example, 167 cm, using formulas, and then you need to find a middle ground depending on the individual characteristics of the body structure. Body mass index is calculated using the formula weight: (height + height (m)). Thus, if you have a weight of 65 kg and a height of 167 cm, you get the following 65: (1.7 + 1.7) = 9.5. Normal values are considered to be between 8.5 and 0.9. Based on these indicators, if you take height 167, the ideal weight will vary from 62 kg to 72 kg. However, there are also limit indicators, so at the lower safe limit, weight with a height of 167 cm can be 56 kg, but you need to understand that in this case there is already a weight deficit, although not dangerous to health. With the upper limit, everything is much more complicated, because higher body index values with such height indicate the presence of overweight and varying degrees of obesity. A body mass index above 50 is considered life-threatening and requires drastic measures involving a strict diet and medication.
Identifying the ideal weight based only on available indicators is very problematic, since it is not always a matter of weight. There are often cases when a person whose weight is within the normal range looks obese. In this case, it's a matter of volume. Loose muscles and loose skin are the main enemies of an ideal figure. As you know, the same weight of muscle and fat tissue has completely different volumes. Adipose tissue, with a relatively large volume, can have little weight, so if you weigh 62 kg and height 167, the ideal weight is not necessarily the indicators of an ideal figure. If the body mass index is within the normal range, but the figure is still not ideal, then it is simply impossible to solve this problem only with the help of diets. In this case, correction of the body shape with the help of exercises is required. Toned muscles will give the body ideal contours.
If you are of normal weight and in the absence of medical contraindications, for example, heart disease, you can try to correct your figure at home by doing stretching exercises. Stretching exercises allow you not only to tone your muscles, but also to prevent the development of excess muscle mass, thus, in a short time you can achieve a toned figure. Among other things, stretching exercises will make your skin tighter and smoother, and also prevent the appearance of stretch marks. It is best to do these exercises in the morning as exercise.
In addition, in addition to physical exercise, you need to include as many fruits and vegetables in your diet as possible to compensate for possible vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Proper, high-quality nutrition is another step towards acquiring an accelerated metabolism, which directly affects the rate of loss of excess deposits. Proper nutrition will also help you remove extra pounds, if any. To have a beautiful figure and ideal weight, you need to try to drink more clean, non-carbonated water. It is better to exclude sweet carbonated drinks from your diet.
Ideal weight is not only kilograms, but also volumes. The desire to lose weight can lead to the development of no fewer diseases than existing excess fat, so before losing weight, you need to determine the desired parameters.
With a height of 167, what weight should a girl have? Such height can be considered average, so it can be taken as an ideal model, which is necessary for comparing different options for height and weight ratios.
1 Looking for a starting point
Most girls worry not so much about height as about weight. Growth data is rather an initial characteristic that allows you to determine the degree of ideality of the figure.
The norm is just the average statistical indicators that society has accepted as a model. If society's opinion changes, the norm will change.
Everyone has their own norm, since every organism is unique. It has not only genetically determined body proportions, but also metabolic characteristics. The speed with which the processes of metabolism, assimilation and destruction of substances occur in the body determines the rate of tissue growth, including fat. When focusing on the ideal created by society, remember that you have your own characteristics and do not necessarily have the figure of a Barbie doll.
In order for all people to be able to assess how close their body weight is to the average statistical ideal, a body mass index was developed back in the 19th century. This is a calculated value that should help a person assess the optimal size of his size.
The formula for ideal weight is simple - you need to know your body weight in kilograms and height in meters. In order to determine your body mass index, you need to divide your weight by your height squared. The result will be a value measured in kilograms per 1 m².
What should the height to weight ratio be?
2 Calculation rules
In order to determine what the normal weight should be for a girl with a height of 167 cm, it is necessary to divide her weight by 2.7889, the resulting index must be compared with the conditional norm.
For women, normal weight corresponds to an index ranging from 18 to 24 kg/m².
For men it is slightly larger - from 19 to 25. This difference is due to the fact that men usually have more muscle mass than women.
Thus, a height of 167 cm should correspond to a weight in the range of 55 to 65 kg.
Such a wide range of norms is associated with the need to take into account the individual characteristics of the body.
3 A simplified method for assessing the norm
Not everyone wants or can calculate body mass indexes. Most people do it much simpler: they subtract certain values from their growth indicators.
The simplest option for determining optimal weight was once invented by the French anthropologist Broc. He recommended determining acceptable weight by subtracting 1 m from a person’s height. In our case, you need to subtract 100 from 167 cm. This means that the ideal weight of a girl of this height is 67 kg.
However, this approach does not take into account individual characteristics and a person’s belonging to a particular taxon in the classification of divisions based on body type.
- for athletes - 110;
- for asthenics - 115;
- for picnics - 100.
Despite the fact that the numbers are accurate, you need to take into account some errors. Usually they are in the range of plus or 10% minutes.
Thus, according to a simplified assessment scheme, a girl with a height of 167 cm should weigh from 67 to 52 kg, which falls within the interval calculated using indices.
In order for a girl to be confident in assessing her condition, it is necessary to determine what body type she belongs to. In this case, you can also use a very conventional, but widespread diagnostic method based on wrist thickness.
Grasp your wrist with the thumb and index finger of your other hand (it doesn’t matter which). There are three possible outcomes of this action.
- 1. The fingers not only clasped the hand loosely, but also overlapped each other. This means that your bones are thin, your physique is asthenic, and normal weight, as a rule, is at the lowest limit of acceptable body mass index values. For girls with a height of 167 cm, a normal weight will be 52-54 kg. These are the women who most often act as models on the catwalks. They are characterized by thin bones, long and thin legs, a poorly developed muscular system, tall stature and low weight. Most often, owners of such a body do not face a lot of weight even in the complete absence of a diet. Typically, an increased metabolism burns any fat.
- 2. If your fingers are close together, it means that you have an athletic or normal build. Such an organism is characterized by mobility. A person with a normal physique can gain excess weight, but he can just as easily lose weight.
- 3. If the fingers on your wrist do not close, then you have a picnic physique. Usually such a person has wide bones, shoulders and the entire torso. People with this figure have to carefully follow a diet and exercise a lot. If they fit within the norm, then only at its upper limit.
You should also distinguish between ideal and optimal weight. The ideal is an unattainable convention for many. Body mass index, which indicates ideal weight, varies widely. However, not every person whose weight does not fit into these limits weighs a lot or a little.
Optimal weight is a state of the body in which a person feels comfortable and the body functions normally. Most often, people who have complaints about their body are guided not by expediency, but by aesthetic standards imposed by society.
The pressure of imposed standards manifested itself especially strongly in the era of the spread of cinema, and subsequently, television and the Internet.
Normal human weight– this is a concept that cannot be precise. Its criteria include not only weight and height, but also a person’s physique and even age. Many men and women experience problems with being overweight or underweight. In this article I would like to tell you how to calculate your weight and what, in general, is the norm.
There are many ways to help calculate weight by height and age. But it should be remembered that such schemes may not be entirely perfect, since the weight ratio can be affected by other factors that are often not taken into account.
Since ancient times, many people have trusted Broca's method.
A person's height is taken in centimeters, then 100 is subtracted from this.
But after some time, the performance of this method changed slightly. This formula is best used to calculate weight by height for females between the ages of 40 and 50. You can read how heart rate changes with age here.
Women under 30 years of age need to have a body weight that is 10% less than this result.
To calculate weight based on height and age, it is considered more accurate Quetelet's method. This formula calculates the ratio of fat and bone and muscle tissue as a percentage. It allows you to identify whether a person is overweight or underweight. Usually we use this method of calculation for people from 20 to 60 years old.
For men, 10-15% fat of total body weight is considered normal, for women only 12%.
How is it calculated: body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
Should not be used This calculation method is for pregnant women, women during lactation, adolescents and people involved in sports.
There is a formula that helps determine the distribution of fat by measuring the size of the waist and buttocks.
Calculated as follows: The volume of the buttocks should be divided by the volume of the waist.
Norm:
- for men – 0.80;
- for women – 0.60-0.80.
In order to determine your body type, you need to measure the circumference of the wrist of your right hand, but if your left hand is your working hand, then you need to measure it. In the normostatic type it is equal to 17-18.5 cm, in the broad-boned type – more than 18.5 and in the thin-boned type – less than 17 cm.

Weight by height and age
Of course, age has a strong influence on body weight. It has been scientifically proven that over the years, body weight in men and women gradually increases with age. Moreover, this may not be extra pounds, but a natural physical process. But height affects people’s weight just as much.
Each person has his own body type. There are 3 of them: thin-boned, normal-boned and broad-boned. Each body type has its own characteristics.
Traits that distinguish one type from another:
- Thin bone type: elongated limbs and neck, thin bones, underdeveloped muscles. People of this type are quite thin, they are devoid of excess fat deposits. They have long necks and limbs. Also, people of this type have great difficulty gaining weight.
- Normal bone type: body sizes are proportional. This type is without a doubt the most successful. Women of this body type are awarded with a good figure, and men are awarded with broad shoulders and an elastic belly.
- Wide boned type: powerful bones, voluminous hips and chest, shortened legs. Of course, people of this type are more susceptible to obesity.
This table shows the weight for men that is considered normal, taking into account his body type and height:
| Thin-boned build | Normal bone build | Broad-boned build |
| 155 cm - 49 kg | 155 cm - 56 kg | 155 cm - 62 kg |
| 160 cm - 53.5 kg | 160 cm - 60 kg | 160 cm - 66 kg |
| 165 cm - 57 kg | 165 cm - 63.5 kg | 165 cm - 69.5 kg |
| 170 cm - 60.5 kg | 170 cm - 68 kg | 170 cm - 74 kg |
| 175 cm - 65 kg | 175 cm - 72 kg | 175 cm - 78 kg |
| 180 cm – 69 kg | 180 cm - 75 kg | 180 cm - 81 kg |
| 185 cm - 73.5 kg | 185 cm - 79 kg | 185 cm - 85 kg |
It should be taken into account that with thin-boned addition they sometimes subtract 3-5% from the weight indicated in the table. With big bones - 1-1,5%.

It is known that in old age physical activity decreases significantly and metabolism in the body decreases. But some habits of older people regarding proper nutrition and an active lifestyle remain unchanged even after many years. Therefore, despite the decrease in muscle tissue, many people do not stop gaining weight over the years.
Summarizing the above formulas for calculating weight and tables that indicate weight standards for men and women, we can conclude that a person’s weight is directly related to many other criteria.
These criteria are:
- person's age;
- height;
- body type.
Heredity is also an important factor. If a person is genetically predisposed to be overweight, then getting rid of extra pounds will be much more difficult.
In conclusion, I would like to say that knowing whether your weight corresponds to normal body weight helps to eliminate a lot of problems, and sometimes identify the presence of a disease.
Controlling your weight is the prevention of many serious diseases. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are usually accompanied by obesity. At the same time, cancer and diseases of the digestive tract can lead to sudden weight loss.
In order to maintain normal body weight you need to:
- proper and healthy nutrition;
- You need to eat breakfast every day, as this helps to avoid snacking at a later time;
- maintaining an active lifestyle;
- regularly weighing your body weight;
- consultations with a specialist if you are overweight or, on the contrary, underweight;
- To maintain a normal weight, a man needs 2,500 calories a day, and a woman needs 2,000.
Watch your weight and nutrition, be healthy!
My height is 167 cm, what should my ideal height be and how to calculate it? and got the best answer
Answer from Kissa 567[newbie]
The simplest and closest to reality method, according to Dergacheva, was proposed by the Frenchman Paul Brocq. If your height is 156-165, then the formula is: height (cm) –100. With a height of 166-175, 105 is subtracted from the height. And accordingly, with a height of 176-185, subtract 110, with a height of 186 and above - 115.
But, as the nutritionist notes, to determine a more accurate indicator, you also need to take into account your body type. There are only three of them: thin-boned, or asthenic (thin); normobone (normal); hypersthenic (wide bone). There are two ways to determine which one is yours.
1. By the volume (girth) of the wrist of the hand with which you write and most often do any work.
“For women, the indicators are as follows: a wrist less than 16 cm is an asthenic type; from 16 to 18 cm – normosthenic; “hypersthenic type is more than 18 cm,” explains the doctor. For men the numbers are different. Less than 17 cm – thin type; from 17.5 to 20 cm – normal; more than 20 cm – broad-boned.
2. According to the Pinier index. Formula: IP = L – (P+T), where L – height (cm), P – weight (kg), T – chest circumference (cm). For example, your height is 168, weight 57, volume under the chest 76. We count: 169 – (57 + 76) = 36. More than 30 is a thin constitution (our case), from 10 to 30 is the norm, less than 10 is a sign of hypersthenics .
“So, when you have determined the type of your constitution, you need to make changes to the figure that you calculated using Brock’s formula,” continues the nutritionist. If you belong to the first, asthenic type, then subtract 10%. If hypersthenic, add the same amount. If your physique is normal, then there is no need to adjust the Brock result.
Let's look at the previous example. From height 168 we subtract 105, we get 63. We make a “discount” for the asthenic constitution of the body 63 – 6.3 = 57.3.
“This is Brock’s ideal weight,” summarizes Valentina Georgievna. – But there is another method that allows you to assess how much body weight differs from ideal. This is the body mass index - BMI."
Body weight (kg) is divided by height (m) squared. Please note that height is measured in meters. So, a person with a body weight of 57 kilograms and a height of 1.68 meters has a BMI = 57 / 1.682. It turns out 20.2.
Now let's analyze the result. “If it turned out to be less than 19, it would mean insufficient body weight,” explains Dergacheva. – From 19 to 25 is a normal result. From 26 to 30 – overweight. 31-35 – moderate obesity. Above 36 is already serious obesity.”
By the way, if you are determined to lose weight, but are not sure where the “line of reason” lies, then using BMI you can calculate this too. To do this, take the minimum index from the “norm” category - this is 19 - and do the opposite. 19 = X /1.682. This means X = 19x1.682. It turns out that the minimum body weight that does not threaten the health of a thin young lady with a height of 168 cm is 53.6 kg.
“Of course, these numbers are, so to speak, a popularized version,” the nutritionist clarifies. “More accurate, professional calculation methods take into account many indicators: age, occupation, percentage of body fat, etc. But the calculations we discussed can also warn against excessive enthusiasm for diets and weight loss.”
Answer from Brunetta[guru]
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body mass index allows you to determine the degree of excess weight and, therefore, the risk of developing diseases in the origin of which obesity plays a significant role. Formula for determining body mass index (BMI): body weight in kilograms should be divided by height in meters squared, that is: BMI = weight (kg) : (height (m))2
For example, a person’s weight = 85 kg, height = 164 cm. Therefore, the BMI in this case is equal to:
BMI = 85: (1.64x1.64) = 31.6.
By determining your BMI, you can assess your risk of developing obesity-related diseases. If BMI is equal to:
20–25 - normal body weight; there is no health risk;
25–30 - overweight; increased health risk, it is recommended to reduce body weight;
30–35 - obesity - high health risk, it is necessary to reduce body weight;
35 or more - severe obesity; The health risk is very high, you need to consult a doctor and reduce body weight.

approximately 62 kg - if the bone is thin, then 55-57 is possible
if the bone is wide then you can weigh 67 kg
in general, focus on the weight at which you feel comfortable
Answer from Cool Wind[guru]
Your ideal weight is somewhere around 51-53 kg.
What should your weight be if you are 167 cm tall? How to calculate it correctly? This article talks about what is the normal weight for a height of 167. It contains a lot of useful information.
The ideal weight is the one at which a person feels comfortable and comfortable and does not feel heaviness in the body. However, despite this, it is also necessary to know what the ideal weight should be for a certain height.
Because to some extent it should serve as a certain guideline. Knowing your ideal weight, you can set a very clear goal for yourself, which you need to strive for.
Naturally, the question of what the ideal weight should be is primarily of interest to women, because it is the fair half who is trying to get rid of extra pounds and make their weight ideal. To correctly assess your weight, you need to weigh yourself only once a week and it is better to choose the morning for this purpose, because it is at this time of day that you can most correctly determine your weight.
When determining the ideal weight, it is worth using various calculation formulas, and also when calculating using certain data, such as height, age, and in some cases, a person’s physique. To determine the ideal weight, it is necessary to take into account and compare all these parameters.
When calculating ideal weight, as a rule, the formula of the famous French anthropologist Broca is used, who proposes to determine the ideal weight of a person, taking into account his height and subtracting one hundred from the result obtained. It is the resulting figure that is considered ideal for a person’s weight. Thus, we can conclude that the ideal weight for a height of 167 centimeters will be 67 kilograms. Naturally, this formula does not take into account a person’s age, his physique and many other factors, but it can be used as a guide for determining ideal weight.
There is also an excellent way to determine normal weight by body mass index, that is, by the value that shows the correspondence of a person’s height to weight. To determine the ideal ratio, you can use the formula of the famous Belgian sociologist Kuttle. According to his formula, to calculate the body mass index, you need to divide a person’s weight in kilograms by his height in meters squared. If the obtained value is in the range from 8.5 to 25 is the norm, all other values require adjustments, either towards increasing or decreasing weight.
Many scientists believe that it is best to determine ideal weight based on the body structure of each individual person, because only in this case can you get the most accurate and correct result, as well as determine the amount of muscle tissue and the percentage of fat present. Depending on the different proportions of a person's body, as well as existing parameters, two people with the same weight and height can look completely different. It is also worth remembering that muscles are much heavier than fat, which is why if a person has a muscular body, then he weighs much more.
To determine a person's physique, it is worth using the person's wrist circumference because this is usually the only sure-fire method. The circumference of the wrist is measured in centimeters, but if the value is less than fifteen centimeters, then this indicates that the person has a thin physique, if this indicator lies in the range from 15 to 19 centimeters, then the person’s physique is normal, but if the size of the wrist circumference is more than nineteen centimeters, this means that the person has a large physique. You can also clasp your wrist with your thumb and forefinger; if there is a margin left in the girth, then the person has a thin physique; if the wrist is clasped end to end, then this means that the physique is normal; if you cannot grasp the wrist, then the person has a large physique.
Naturally, when taking any measurements, you should not take the results obtained too seriously, because the determining result is not a certain body weight, but, first of all, a good appearance, as well as excellent health. To achieve the ideal ratio of a person’s height and weight, it is necessary to bring the body into a normal state and switch to proper nutrition, as well as exercise.
If the height is 167, the ideal weight will be approximately 67 kilograms, however, if a person does not feel comfortable at this weight, then some adjustment is allowed, both towards decreasing and increasing weight. The permissible value can vary within several kilograms.
To achieve an ideal weight, you need to learn to eat right, you also need to exercise regularly, and completely eliminate stressful situations from your life. To quickly get into proper shape and improve your figure, you must definitely play sports and also adhere to a normal diet.
Also, to determine the ideal weight, a certain formula is used, based on which it is necessary to subtract 110 from a person’s height and this will result in an ideal weight, this means that the weight norm for a height of 167 centimeters is 57 kilograms. It is worth noting that this formula is quite simple and it is not worth judging the ideal weight so harshly, because it is also worth taking into account such parameters as the structural features of the human body, as well as his height and age. All this should be taken into account because it is clear that the ideal weight of a girl and a man should naturally differ and a man’s weight should be slightly higher.
That is why leading nutritionists say that the ideal weight can only be calculated individually for each individual person, and when making such calculations it is worth taking into account the person’s height, constitution, appearance, age, as well as the existing thickness of the skin fold. For each specific person, the individual ratio of height and weight will be its own.
Naturally, as a person ages, his weight increases slightly, which is why when calculating the ideal weight, it is also necessary to take into account the age of a particular person. If a person is less than forty years old, then it is necessary to subtract 110 from his height in centimeters, but if he is more than forty years old, then it is worth subtracting one hundred.
Also, the ideal weight of a person is determined taking into account his physique, that is, if he has a thin physique, then another ten percent must be subtracted from the result obtained, but if he has a large physique, then another ten percent must be added. If a person has a normal physique, then there is no need to add or subtract anything to the result obtained.
With a thin physique, a person has rather long limbs, a thin hand, a long and thin neck, and the muscles are quite poorly developed. As a rule, people of thin build are light in weight, they are unusually active, and even with increased nutrition they are not prone to obesity, because they lose excess calories much faster than they accumulate them.
With a normal physique, a person has a beautiful, proportional figure, and the main parameters of the body are distinguished by the correct ratio. If a person has a large build, then they differ in that he has fairly wide and heavy bones, short legs, as well as a massive and wide chest, shoulders and hips. Such people are most prone to obesity and they have to be especially strict about their diet, and they also need to constantly exercise to keep their weight in a normal state.
It is worth noting that with a height of 167 centimeters, a person’s weight can fluctuate upward, because a slight deviation from the ideal weight is allowed and this will be quite normal.
