It is believed that ideal weight is the one you had at 18. It is advisable to keep it for life. But if you have broken away from the ideal over the past 15–20 years or more, you should not strive to return to it at any cost. After all, every 10 years of life, the energy consumption of the body decreases by about 10%. Accordingly, for every 10 years we add about 10% (5–7 kg): first from the same ideal weight, later from the one we have. And you should burn fat carefully, focusing on the same 10%, only in a year. In addition, it is better to strive not for an eighteen-year-old weight, but to calculate your new ideal using one of the medical formulas.

Brocca's formula

Ideal weight for men \u003d (height in centimeters - 100) 1.15.

Ideal weight for women \u003d (height in centimeters - 110) 1.15.

Example: The ideal weight of a woman with a height of 170 cm \u003d (170 - 110) 1.15 \u003d 69 kg.

Surely, this formula will remind many of the old “height minus 100” for men and “height minus 110” for women. It's really an improved version of that old formula. The fact is that the previous version required everyone to be fitness models, did not take into account either age or body type. Therefore, neither people with heavy bones and large muscles, nor women with pronounced hips and breasts could fit into it at all. Therefore, scientists have subjected the old formula of Brokk to processing, and in its current form it looks quite realistic.

Lorenz's dream

The ideal weight of a woman \u003d (height in centimeters - 100) - (height in centimeters - 150) / 2.

Example: The ideal weight of a woman with a height of 165 cm \u003d (165 - 100) - (165 - 150) / 2 \u003d 65 - 15/2 \u003d 57.5. Ideal weight - 57.5 kg!

Please note that this formula was developed only for women and is in no way suitable for the stronger sex. At first glance, it is too demanding on weight compared to Broccus's improved formula and indicates more likely just the ideal weight when you were eighteen. Nevertheless, it is fully consistent with the body mass index (BMI), so it is quite possible to use it. If you are upset by the proposed numbers, then just forget about it and use a different formula. By the way, for women above 175 cm, it still will not work.

Egorov-Levitsky table

Maximum allowable body weight

Height, cm

20–29 years old

30–39 years old

40–49 years old

50–59 years old

60–69 years old

Example: A 45-year-old woman weighs 76 kg with a height of 170 cm. This is not much at all, it is less than the maximum allowable!

The medical compilers took into account everything that is possible: gender, age, height. They did not limit only the lower limit of weight. But this is understandable - the table helps to find out if you have excess weight, not whether it is insufficient. In our opinion, the most complete and balanced approach to ideal weight.

Quetelet index

Index = weight in grams / height in centimeters.

This is also a method to estimate the already existing weight, close to the BMI method described above. No wonder they have the same author. Here, the result obtained should also be compared with the table, however, in this option, physique is also taken into account. It can be determined very simply: stand in front of the mirror, pull your stomach in as much as possible and attach two rulers or just your palms to the two lower ribs. They form an angle. If it is rather blunt (more than 90 grams), you have a large physique. If almost straight, the physique is normal. If the angle is sharp, the physique is considered thin.

Example: The weight-height index of a 45-year-old woman weighing 70 kg with a height of 160 cm, a large physique = 70,000 / 160 = 437.5. For her, this is normal weight. And if she were 6 years younger or had a different body type, she would be considered too full!

This formula is respected by the fact that it takes into account many factors: age, and body type. It can be used for any height, you just need to be honest with yourself when assessing your body type. In any case, approaching the upper limit of the tabular index by 5-10 points is a reason to correct your diet and move more.

Quetelet calculation or body mass index (BMI)

Body mass index (BMI): weight in kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters).

This formula evaluates the existing weight and indicates in which direction it should be changed. Recall that to square a number, simply multiply it by itself. Compare the result with the table.

Example: BMI of a woman with a height of 170 cm and a weight of 72 kg \u003d 72 / 1.7. 1.7 = 24.9. She is overweight, she is still far from being obese, but she should at least not gain kilograms, and even better, lose 3-4 kg.

When comparing your weight with BMI, you need to know some features that, as a rule, are not mentioned anywhere. This formula is correct for people of average height (men - 168-188 cm and women 154-174 cm). For those who are shorter, the ideal weight is 10% lower than the "formula", and for those who are tall - 10% higher. In addition, this formula can "lie" when assessing those who exercise five or more times a week. The indisputable plus of BMI is that it does not indicate a mythical ideal, but estimates real weight and height.

    according to this calculator, with a height of 190 cm, I should ideally weigh 70 kg)))))))))))))) in fact I weigh 90 kg, no belly, no sides, regular visits to the gym

    Normosthenic body type. Estimated ideal weight turned out to be 63 kg, according to Brock 65 kg, this was at school. Real 76 kg, 11 kg difference. Recommended by a nutritionist 72 kg. At ideal weight, the fat content will be like that of athletes, at the lower limit.

    Everything is fine. 59 kg is a lot for me! It's hard to breathe. with a height of 165 with a weight of 50 kg, I feel great! And I like the calculator

    Ardak tell me, what food helped you lose weight so much?

    Evgenia, do not be discouraged, there is always a way out, I always have exactly the same problem, I recovered from 58 kg and became 89 kg, which I just didn’t do, I sat down on different diets, I drank all sorts of diet pills, the weight easily returned in a double form, once again when I started drinking bilayt pills, I felt it’s bad that I ended up in the hospital after lying for 10 days, I realized that everything I did was wrong, I decided that proper nutrition this is what I need in 7 months, I lost 21 kg, the most pleasant thing is that the weight does not come back and such nutrition has already become the norm of life, and more importantly, eat in small portions I wish you all the best

    These diets are bullshit. That's when you are afraid of the disease - then the appetite will moderate. I weighed 70 with a height of 164. Suddenly arthritis appeared - by age, it turns out, but nothing foreshadowed it, I carried bags, an active lifestyle, etc. And in a year I threw off 10 kg. Fear helped. I began to eat a little and in the morning - low-fat cottage cheese, completely excluded coffee. All food is as usual, but there is less. Joints cannot be loaded. I still need to lose 2 kilos, but I'll be patient until the summer. I only drink boiled water in moderation. Everything is fine with the intestines.

    Good afternoon, I always worried about the question of whether my weight is normal, height 174, weight 59

    I’m 21, half a year ago, with fasting 1.66, I weighed 90 kg, I lost the first 20 kg in 2.5 months, then it became more difficult. As the body adapted, as a result, I lost 34 kg in half a year. Now I weigh 54 (for my height and build, this is the ideal weight)
    I’ll say from my own experience that counting calories is complete nonsense, it’s important what you eat, how often and in what quantities. Well, of course, there is no way without physical exertion, it is not necessary to go to the gym if there is no such possibility, it will be enough just to run in the evenings.
    Be sure to drink 1.5 -2 liters of water, and reduce the amount of salt consumed, preferably not eat it at all. Include bran in the diet (30 grams daily rate).
    I won’t be original if I say about sweet and starchy foods, since I myself have a sweet tooth, it was simply not possible for me to completely refuse to eat chocolate, and every other day I allowed myself to eat 2-4 slices of chocolate, but only until 12:00. The same goes for bread, a piece of toast in the morning will not do much harm to the figure. Fruit after 15:00 is not recommended. As for all the talk about shutting your mouth after 6, BOSH and more! In no case do not do this, because until the next morning the body will starve as much as 13 hours (with the condition that your breakfast will be at 8 in the morning), and then whatever you eat in the morning will be directly deposited in your reserve. In addition, all important processes in the body occur at night, and if you haven’t eaten anything, then how should your body absorb all the vitamins and elements it needs. Kovalkov recommends that his patients eat the protein of two eggs 2-3 hours before bedtime.

    If you are on a diet, keep a separate diet, give the body physical. load, but the weight still does not go away, you should be examined for hormones. Maybe it's all about them. I had the same problem with being overweight. I ate little, loaded myself with a lot of sports, and the weight left either slowly. or stood still. Has handed over analyzes on hormones, It has appeared all business in them. When leveled hormonal background After a few months everything was back to normal.

    Eugenia, for each person everything is individual. I was able to lose weight in 5 months by 23 kilograms, I ate in small portions after 2-3 hours (even dumplings), after 18.00 my mouth was locked), then I introduced 2 unloading kefir days a week, in general it turned out “without suffering”, because I did not limit yourself in the products.

    Eugene, try breathing exercises according to the Oksisize or Bodyflex system with static exercises, they helped me a lot, because. I'm not very good at dieting. Appetite is reduced due to the retraction of the abdomen during exercise + the exercises themselves are not very difficult and do not require gigantic efforts and results are already visible after 1-2 weeks (but it is more in the reduction of cm than kg). I practiced at home with video. Then I started running with the miCoach program from Adidas (the program guides you by itself, tracking the speed using GPS + there are the most entry levels, even for those who find it hard after a 15 minute walk). Set a goal: I, for example, signed up for Nike's free 10K marathon and started training in 4 months. For me it seemed unattainable, but I did it. And even if I had very, very average results - I have never achieved such results + this allows you to increase metabolism. By the way, they run such marathons every year. I stopped drinking tea with sugar, eat less flour. To improve peristalsis, eat foods rich in dietary fiber. And one more thing - love yourself and prepare mentally for a new life, a new attitude to food. For 1.5 years of such a regime, she threw off more than 12 kg (almost everything she gained). It's not super fast, of course, but now I like the way I look and am determined to continue on, because. over time, you need to increase the load. Now I want to do kung fu instead of running. Be careful. DO NOT be zealous in achieving quick results. I wish you good luck, experiment and find exactly what suits you!

    Eugene, I would recommend separate meals and moderate physical exercise.

    You need to eat less. And all problems will pass

    I endured a lot of stress, as a result, I grew fat up to 92 kg with a height of 170. I tried diets, a cleansing system, sports (irregular), massage sessions and water procedures. The weight is slightly reduced, and then returns with additional kilograms. Please advise what to do.

Problem overweight worries a lot of people these days. To be slim means to be beautiful and healthy. Men and women calculate their ideal weight and do their best to match the cherished figure. But how do you know what you're aiming for?

Most often, a simple formula is used - men subtract 100 from height in centimeters, and women 110. The resulting number is considered the optimal weight. However, this calculation does not take into account the age, body type of a person and other additional features. Therefore, it is not suitable for everyone. A more accurate result can be found by calculating the body mass index (BMI).

What is BMI

BMI is a value that shows how correct the ratio of height and weight of a person is. According to a special formula, it is calculated whether the subject is obese or malnourished. Often this method is used by doctors in the treatment of diseases associated with overweight or underweight.

The idea to calculate BMI belongs to a Belgian scientist who lived in the 19th century, by the name of Quetelet. Subsequently, many nutritionists and anthropologists made all kinds of adjustments to the table. On the this moment there are formulas by which you can find out BMI not only by Quetelet, but also by Brock, by Humvee, by Kref and by Devin. They received such names by the names of the scientists who calculated the indicators.

The formula for calculating BMI according to Brock was developed at the end of the 19th century by a doctor from France. It is ideal for the average man in the street with a height of 155 cm to 2 m. Brock's method was supplemented by Professor Kreff. In the calculations according to his method, the type of physique is taken into account.

According to a certain formula, you can find out if a person suffers from so-called central obesity. To do this, the waist is divided by the hips. A number above 0.9 indicates that the test subject has problems. An overhanging tummy is a threat to health. They say that extra centimeters at the waist deprive several years of life.

It should be noted that the norms in different time were different. IN last years the ideal BMI has become much smaller than before, and therefore the number of people suffering from overweight and obesity has statistically increased.

What does BMI depend on?

Sometimes the calculation of BMI gives not quite correct results. The fact is that it is important to remember that the ratio of adipose and muscle tissue in people is different and depends on many factors. Therefore, people with the same BMI do not look the same.

In order to make an accurate calculation of BMI, not only height is taken into account, but also a person’s age, gender, and body type, which is determined by the results of measuring the wrist.

There are fine-boned, normal-boned and broad-boned types. BMI of lean individuals with narrow shoulders and chest should be less than the indicators of hypersthenics with large forms. Sometimes, to determine the type of physique, the width of the chest is measured.

Due to differences in the ratio of musculature and adipose tissue, normal BMI is different men and women. It must also be taken into account age subject. The ideal weight of a young girl or guy will be different from body weight mature person. This is not surprising. With age, the fat layer, which weighs less than muscle tissue, increases. So old man can get an ideal indicator as a result of calculations, and at the same time have problems with being overweight. Therefore, people over 50 are advised to monitor their waist-to-hip ratio to prevent central obesity.

A special formula and table are used to calculate the normal body mass index of children. In addition, do not forget that the ideal weight of girls and boys cannot be identical either. Different indicators will be in children under 2 years old and upon reaching this age.

In a special way, the ideal weight of athletes is calculated. They devote a lot of time to training, and therefore have developed muscles. Their ideal BMI will be significantly higher than that of the average person.

Why you need to know BMI

BMI is useful to know for those who monitor their figure and health. Doctors also use this indicator to determine doses. medicines. In everyday life, it is used to control body weight.

It is much easier to follow the figure knowing what to strive for. And sometimes it happens that people invent problems for themselves. Young girls, for example, exhaust themselves with diets while absolutely normal weight leading to anorexia.

Calculating the body mass index will help determine if a person has problems and how serious they are. Nutritionists, on the basis of the indicators obtained, recommend a certain diet and exercise to an obese patient.

How to calculate BMI

It is quite difficult to calculate the body mass index on your own, taking into account all the nuances. We can help our users to cope with this task. For people who care about their weight, an online body mass index calculator has been developed. All that is required is to enter your data into the form and in a couple of seconds the result will appear on the screen. As a rule, it is enough to know your exact weight. For a more reliable result, you should specify the volume of the hips and wrists.

Choose which formula to use to calculate, and then compare the resulting number with the data in the table. Based on the result, it can be judged whether the weight of the test person is normal. BMI also indicates whether a person is underweight or morbidly overweight. Obesity has several degrees. This is also taken into account in the calculations.

We offer a handy online body mass index calculator. Despite its simplicity, it is quite accurate. You can calculate the body mass index based on age using different formulas or derive an average that will be as close to the correct one as possible.

BMI - an approximate indicator

Even using the most accurate formula, it is impossible to calculate the ideal weight. Each person is individual. Therefore, do not be upset if your indicators go beyond the norm.

The mistake of many, and especially for the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, is the desire to be like models from glossy magazines. The slightest deviation from the norm can cause panic.

Of course, if the calculations indicate painful fullness, it is worth considering and trying to achieve best results. Obesity does not have a favorable effect on general well-being and on the state of human health. Excess weight leads to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and joint diseases. Therefore, you should take action and get rid of extra pounds.

On the other hand, it happens that the BMI is within the normal range, and the body looks flabby and by no means young. In this case, you should not be proud of the results of the check and do not care about the figure. You should pay attention to sports or at least increase physical activity in order to put your body in order. But such people do not need a diet at all ..

In any case, do not get hung up on dry numbers. The main thing is general well-being.

Even if the test results showed bad result you should listen to yourself. When a person is satisfied with his reflection in the mirror, and doctors do not see a threat to health in extra pounds, it is better to forget about formulas and calculations and enjoy life in the usual rhythm.

Instruction

One of the simplest formulas for calculating the ideal weight and was proposed by the anthropologist from France Paul Brock. The easiest to calculate is weight is minus the coefficient. At up to 165 cm, the coefficient is 100, up to 175 cm - 105, above 175 cm - 110. According to experts, Brock's formula is correct for people whose age is in the range from forty to fifty years. If you are under forty, then the optimal weight, calculated according to Broca's formula, must be reduced by ten to twelve, otherwise the result must be increased by five to seven percent.

Body mass index calculations showing body fat are considered more accurate. For calculations, it is enough to know body weight in kilograms and height, recorded in meters. BMI \u003d M (kg): H2 (m), where M is body weight, H is height. The formula itself is also very simple: the ratio of mass to the square is found. Depending on the value obtained, conclusions are drawn about weight e person. If you get less than 25 - this is the norm, if more than 25, but less than 27 - this is overweight, but not yet obese, but if more than 27 - this is already obese. But these are again average indicators, since the values ​​​​of the body mass index are different for and.

In Russia, doctors to determine overweight bodies use special tables, in which, depending on gender, and on, and on height, the maximum allowable values ​​\u200b\u200bare indicated weight but. If your weight below the table, this may mean the absence of excess weight and, if higher, then additional studies determine the degree.

note

There are various methods to determine the ideal weight for any person, depending on his height. This does not take into account other indicators such as age, gender and physique. Obviously, if excess weight is formed due to muscles, then a person does not look full, in addition, scientists have proven that a little overweight for women has a positive effect on her health.

Useful advice

There are no absolutely reliable ways to determine the ideal weight, since none of them takes into account the individual characteristics of a person. It is better to focus on the state of health and the mirror.

Excess weight is a problem that can have not only aesthetic, but also medical negative consequences. How to reliably find out if you are overweight?

The presence of excess weight can create a lot of problems for a person, ranging from difficulties with the selection of well-fitting clothes to negative consequences for health, such as shortness of breath, increased stress on the joints and others. However, in modern world, focused on the standards of the fashion industry, the concept of being overweight has become rather blurry: many people begin to consider being overweight, which is actually completely normal. How to determine the limits of the norm of weight for a particular person?

Body mass index

To get an answer to this question, doctors have long developed a universal criterion that takes into account not only the absolute value of weight in kilograms, but also: after all, it is clear that a weight of, for example, 70 kilograms, has absolutely different meaning for two people, if one is 1.5 meters tall and the other is 1.95 meters. This criterion was called the body mass index, which is also often abbreviated to BMI. At the same time, it is simple enough that anyone who wants to find out if he is overweight can use it. Body mass index is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in centimeters. For example, for the person mentioned above with a weight of 70 kilograms and a height of 1.5 meters, the indicated index will be 31.1.

Determining the limits of normal weight

The developers of the body mass index found that the weight of an average person can be considered normal if his BMI is in the range from 18.5 to 25. If the value of the body mass index of a particular person turned out to be less than the lower limit of the norm, this means that he has a deficiency in body weight . If the index turned out to be higher than 25, that the person is overweight, and the greater the excess of the index value compared to upper bound the more overweight he is. So, if the BMI does not exceed 30, doctors ascertain the presence of overweight, with BMI values ​​​​from 30 to 35 - obesity of the first degree, from 35 to 40 - of the second degree, over 40 - of the third degree. In the example above, a person weighing 70 kilograms and 1.5 meters tall is overweight, and the BMI indicates that it has already come to obesity of the first degree.

It is known that in the USSR, a healthy weight for a woman was calculated using the simplest formula, growth minus one hundred. According to her, Baba Klava from the bench at the entrance was declared a woman with perfect figure. Later, nutritionists slightly changed the formula - "growth minus one hundred and ten", and for ballerinas the formula "growth minus one hundred and twenty" always worked. If such generalized data does not suit you, read on - we have collected the most interesting, relevant and reflective formulas.

Ideal Weight Calculator

Classification of body types according to Solovyov:

  1. Asthenic type: less than 18 cm in men, less than 15 cm in women.
  2. Normosthenic type: 18-20 cm in men, 15-17 in women.
  3. Hypersthenic type: more than 20 cm in men, more than 17 cm in women.

Cooper formula

Ideal weight for a woman (kg): (height (cm) x 3.5: 2.54 - 108) x 0.453.
Ideal weight for a man (kg): (height (cm) x 4.0: 2.54 - 128) x 0.453.

Lorentz formula

Ideal weight = (height (cm) - 100) - (height (cm) - 150) / 2

For our heroine, the ideal weight will be 25 kg. State?

Kyutla Formula (Body Mass Index)

The Body Mass Index is designed to measure overweight and obesity. BMI is familiar to many.

BMI = weight (kg) : (height (m))2

BMI below 19 - underweight.

  • At the age of 19-24 - BMI should be in the range from 19 to 24;
  • at the age of 25-34 - BMI should be from 19 to 25;
  • at the age of 35-44 - BMI should be from 19 to 26;
  • at the age of 45-54 - BMI should be from 19 to 27;
  • at the age of 55-64 - BMI should be from 19 to 28;
  • over the age of 65 - BMI should be from 19 to 29.

Calculation example:

weight - 50 kg.

height - 1.59 m

BMI \u003d 50 / (1.59 * 1.59) \u003d 19.77 (normal BMI)

Fixed weight-height coefficient

The calculation is based on a fixed coefficient (weight in grams divided by height in centimeters). The table below is for women aged 15 to 50.

Ideal weight formula: (height in cm*coefficient)/1000

Brock's formula

It was this formula, proposed by the French physician Brock more than a hundred years ago, that was used in vulgar calculations. Brock's formula takes into account the physique: asthenic (thin), normosthenic (normal) and hypersthenic (stocky).

Ideal weight formula:

  • up to 40 years: height -110
  • after 40 years: growth - 100

Asthenics subtract 10%, and hypersthenics add 10%.

So our calculations are:

age - 24 years

height - 159 cm

physique - hypersthenic.

Ideal weight = 53.9 kg.

Brock-Brugsch formula

This is Brock's modified formula for people with non-standard height: less than 155 cm and more than 170 cm.

  • Less than 165 cm: ideal weight = height - 100
  • 165-175 cm: ideal weight = height - 105
  • Over 175 cm: ideal weight = height - 110.
