Great question 👍
✅ Short Answer:
Weight should mainly be according to height, not age.
📏 Why Height Matters More
- Your ideal weight depends on your body size (height).
- A taller person naturally needs more weight than a shorter person.
- That’s why doctors use things like Body Mass Index (BMI), which is based on height + weight, not age.
👶 Where Age Matters
Age is still important, but differently:
1. Children & Teenagers
- For kids, weight is judged by age + height + growth charts.
- Because they are still growing.
2. Adults
- For adults, focus is on:
- Height
- Body composition (fat vs muscle)
- Age matters only because metabolism slows down over time.
⚖️ Example
- A 5’6” (167 cm) person:
- Healthy weight ≈ 52–70 kg (varies by body type)
- Same height at age 25 vs 50 → ideal weight range is similar, but fat distribution may change.
🧠 Better Than Just Weight
Instead of only weight, consider:
- Waist size
- Fitness level
- Muscle vs fat
✅ Bottom Line
- ✔️ Height-based weight (BMI) is the main standard
- ✔️ Age matters more for children and metabolism, not ideal weight itself
If you want, tell me your height, and I can calculate your ideal weight range for you 👍
