How to calculate the ideal weight for yourself at 60?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Looks & feels right: The whole business of "ideal weights" is based on old insurance tables that have little to do with individual situations. With the jama's not-surprising 2013 study that "overweight" adults exceed "ideal weight" adults in longevity & health, use common sense. Muscular and trim, able to excel at vigorous physical activities that you enjoy. It's about you, not a number. Health and friendship.
