Read More »While it's possible to be healthy at any size, it's important to know whether your current weight is right for you. Whether you suspect that you are overweight or underweight, you can use this information to minimize your risk of chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. To determine a healthy weight for yourself, knowing the average weight of women based on factors like age and height can often serve as a baseline comparison. However, just because a certain range is an average does not necessarily mean that it's the right target weight for you. This number is best decided with input from a healthcare provider. Here is what you need to know about the average weight for women. The number on a scale is not always the best indicator in determining whether or not you are at a healthy weight for you. Other factors, such as your body mass index (BMI), can give some additional insight into your weight. Your BMI score takes into account your height as well as your weight and is measured on a scale that includes the following categories underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. This BMI calculator can give you an estimate. You also can look at charts to help give you some additional insight. However, it's important to keep in mind that BMI is not a perfect measure. Variables such as age, sex, muscle tone, athleticism, body frame size, and pregnancy can sometimes produce misleading BMI results. And in general, women usually have more body fat than men. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a dated, biased measure that doesn’t account for several factors, such as body composition, ethnicity, race, gender, and age. Despite being a flawed measure, BMI is widely used today in the medical community because it is an inexpensive and quick method for analyzing potential health status and outcomes.
