Question 3

No: That weight and height would give you a bmi of 20.8 which is normal for an adult. What is your age? That can make a difference in the normal range for bmi.

Question 4

how much should a woman who is 5 feet and 2 inches tall weigh?

Accepted Answer

The BMI chart: Age is only used for pediatric/young adults, often calculated to age 18 or so. After this point, we only use height and wt to determine healthy vs not-healthy-wt ranges for both men and women. It is a rough estimate and provide you a guide to keep "ideal body wt" for better health. If you have specific concern about your wt/height vs age (we shrink in height with age), consult doc. Good luck.

Question 5

what is considered to be the optimal weight for 5 foot 5 inches?

Accepted Answer

BMI: According to http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.Htm
you should weigh between 114-150 lbs.   You want to make sure you are eating a healthy diet, getting appropriate exercise, and rest.

Question 6

Sorry: Growth is determine by genetics and nutrition--I do not have any healthy suggestions to stop growth, but relax and adapt to whatever height nature gives you.

Question 7

what is the healthy weight for a 5 foot 7 inches 32 yrs old female?

Accepted Answer

135: 100 for 5 ft  and add 5 lbs for each additional inch

therefore  100 + (7x5) =135lbs

you can add or subtract 10% (13 pounds) to get a range of 123-148 pounds for that height and age.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Question 10

what is a good weight for a big-boned girl that is 5 feet 6 inches tall?

Accepted Answer

Around 150: According to the standards, the upper limit of a normal bmi for 5'6" is 150 pounds.  Above that, you are considered overweight, but bmi isn't always the best determination.  If you have 15-20 percent body fat, eat right and excercise regularly, i wouldn't worry too much about what the scale says. Too little body fat can cause problems just like too much can.
