i weight 90kg and i am 30yrs old am i over weight?

Answer 1

If you are 6'2" or below, you are overweight by the body mass index, regardless of your age.

Answer 2

Adults weight vary depending on age, gender and genetics. For a adult female, the Metropolitan formula for ideal weight is:

1. Starting at a height of 5' 0", a base of a hundred pounds.
2. For every inch above 5' add 5 pounds.

e.g. 5' 6" = 100 + (6 x 5) = 130 pounds +/- 10%



For a adult male, the formula is:

1. Starting with a height of 5', a base of 106 pounds
2. For every inch above 5' add 6 pounds

e.g. 5' 10" 106 + (10 x 6) = 166 pounds +/- 10%

However, these are old formulas. Now, most health professionals use Body Mass Index (BMI) to determinate size. The formula for BMI is:

1. kg/m2 where weight in kilograms is divided by height in meters

A BMI of 22-25 is ideal while a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Answer.com has a chart to determine your BMI, go to:

Answer 3

Well as a rough guide if you are 6'3" or taller you are fine, if you are between 5'9" and 6'2" you are overweight and if you are shorter than that then you are obese.

Another test is to stand naked in front of a full length mirror and jump up and down, if anything wobbles that shouldn't then you are overweight!

Seriously though, the Body Mass Index is a good guide to your height and weight however if you are particularly muscular you will be heavier than the BMI says you should be.

Answer 4

How do your clothes fit you? How easily can you get around? Does your body "spread out" on a chair when you sit down?

The BMI measurement is a load of tosh, as it takes no account of skeletal frame.

In the past year I dropped from 22.5% body fat to 15.5% body fat, but my overall weight has remained the same at slightly over 13st (I'm 5' 8" and male).

This loss of nearly a stone of fat weight, and the same gain of muscle weight, is completely ignored by the BMI measurement.

Answer 5

Answer 7

Thats about 14 stones so unless you are over 6ft 2 tall, you probably are overweight....it depends on your height.

Answer 8

yeah dam over weight if you are 3 ft !! how about throwing us a bone and giving the final part to the equation!!

Answer 9

Depends how tall you are. I weight 75 and I'm 6'0 If you around my height and really muscular or taller and less muscular, it would be ok.

Answer 10

Weight isn't measured by age, whats important is your height and bone structure.
