The Body Mass Index helps determine a person’s healthy weight and height. Read your way through this article to discover a healthy weight and height chart for both women and men.

Healthy Weight And Height Chart

The Body Mass Index (BMI) or Quetelet Index helps establish a relationship between an individual’s weight and height. If you are looking to get healthier, or stay as healthy as you are, it is essential to strike a balance between your weight and height. The BMI does not emphasize on the percentage of body fat, but instead calls to attention the ideal relationship between an individual’s height and weight. The BMI, unlike other indexes, is easy to calculate and is also frequently used to diagnose weight problems. Weight problems may vary from being overweight or obese to underweight. The ‘Body Mass Index’ or ‘Quetelet Index’ was invented by Belgian mathematician and sociologist Adolphe Quetelet. Without the Body Mass Index, it is as good as impossible to come up with a standard height and weight chart for women or men. This is exactly why the BMI ranks so high on importance. Here’s presenting a standard weight and height chart for both women and men. Browse through it to discover how much you should weigh for your height. If you weigh more than your corresponding height, you are overweight. If you weigh lesser than your corresponding height, you are underweight. It is important that your weight complements your height; an imbalance here will render you unhealthy. With so much importance given to maintaining a work-life balance, people do not feel the need to strike a healthy ‘weight-height balance’. It may not be possible for you to increase or decrease your height, but it’s definitely possible for you to exert a great degree of influence on how much you weigh.
