Ideal weight setting by height is very important for maintaining good health and well -being. Ideal weight intervals can vary between men and women due to body composition, fat distribution and other biological factors.
Different weight intervals for men and women
For people with height from 150 cm to 160 cm, ideal weight intervals for men and women vary greatly. For example, a 150 cm tall man should have the ideal weight of 50 kg to 65 kg.
Meanwhile, the woman should weigh 45 to 58 kg of the same height. As the height increases, these intervals also change and can be measured by BMI (body mass index).
In the next height range, which includes 161 cm to 180 cm, the differences remain noticeable. As the height scale increases, for example, 170 cm, the ideal weight for men is between 63 and 78 kg and for women from 58 to 75 kg.
These ideal differences in weight intervals reflect the characteristic biological differences in each sex. Men usually have a higher average muscle mass than women, which leads to a higher healthy weight range.
In addition, factors such as genetics affect the distribution of fat in the body; For example, women tend to accumulate fat in places such as hips and thighs for hormonal reasons.
When evaluating the ideal weight, it is also important to consider other factors such as age and lifestyle.
The need for calories changes with age for both genders; However, women experience major changes that can affect their healthy weight. Similarly, both active men and women may have a greater healthy weight due to higher muscle mass.
Calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI)
Although height and weight are important indicators, it is recommended to calculate BMI for more accurate assessment of your body composition. BMI is a number calculated based on your weight and height that helps determine if your weight is healthy.
BMI is counted according to the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) ². For example, if your weight is 70 kg and height is 1.75 m, your BMI will be 22.9. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, normal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9.
Lower BMI shows insufficient weight and higher overweight or obesity. However, it is important to remember that BMI cannot accurately reflect the body’s composition for athletes or people with higher muscle mass.
Importance of healthy eating and physical activity for weight support
In order to maintain ideal weight and good health, it is necessary to follow the principles of healthy eating and exercise regularly. A balanced diet should include a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy.
Processed foods, sweet drinks and large quantities of saturated and trans fat should be avoided. Regular physical activity helps to burn calories, strengthen muscles and improve cardiovascular activity.
It is recommended to take at least 30 minutes daily for moderate physical activity, such as walking, jogging or swimming. It is also important to keep in mind about sufficient sleep and stress management, which also affect weight control.
