Weight to Height Charts for Women and Men
Weight to Height Charts for Women and Men
The information in the weight to height charts found on the
NutriCounter web site is from The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (1983 statistics).
These charts are widely used by experts in the medical field.
However, other experts criticize these statistics based on the fact that the participants in the study were primarily white, middle class people. Also, the validity of the statistics is questionable due to inconsistent research methods.
If you do decide to use these tables, use them with a little common sense - every person is different and weight is greatly
affected by age, musculature, mobility, metabolism and a host of other factors. (These charts look like they are for young, energetic, active individuals.)
On a more positive note, these charts make for excellent printing on an 8x11 sheet of paper!
