Ideal height
weight charts
Before
you uses the weight height chart, you will need to determine your
approximate frame size. To that follow the following 6 instructions.
- Bend your forearm up to a 90 degree angle. Your
arm should be parallel to your body.
- Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside
of your wrist towards the body.
- Using your other hand, place your thumb and
index finger on the two prominent bones (on either side) of the elbow.
- Measure the distance between the bones with a
tape measure or calipers.
- Compare with the tables listing elbow
measurements for medium-framed men or women.
- Measurements lower than those listed for a
medium frame indicate a small frame. Higher measurements indicate a
large frame.

Maintaining a healthy bodyweight throughout your adult years is
essential if you expect to avoid the many illnesses and diseases
associated with being overweight and obese, namely hypertension,
diabetes, hyperlipidemias and perhaps certain types of cancers.
If you discover your current weight on the ideal height weight charts is
outside of the target range, gaining or losing weight to achieve your
healthy weight range will strengthen your overall health and wellness,
your appearance and your sense of well-being.
Another useful tool that goes along with the ideal height weight charts is the BMI
Calculator
