What's the mean weight for a 16 y.o.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See chart: Mean weight isn't a good indicator of anything with out other information. Mean is average, and average does not mean healthy anymore. To determine what a healthy weight is, look at the chart and compare based on height. Your pediatrician should also be able to give guidance on healthy weight.
