There is no absolute answer to what a healthy adult should weigh in relation to height or age. Body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights.

What is important is body composition. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. Therefore, what counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. If you are female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% for good health. For males the percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health.

To determine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive and they are readily available to buy.

There are several different factors which affect the weight of a person and when it comes to age and height, there isn't really a correlation between age, height and weight.

Due to different body checmistry possessed by people, there isn't ideal weight or height for everybody. It is difficult to judge on a man's healthy weight with another person who has the same age and height but not the same weight.

There are many reasons to be concerned as to why a person should have ideal weight for the proper age and height. Being Overweight or underweight may also bring in its own problems or effects. For people who are overweight, problems like high blood pressure, cholesterol, morbidity, severe back pains can become serious problems.

Regardless of what your weight is on the BMI reading, it will not give you an exact depiction of your weight according to your age and height. It is always best to consult a doctor for tips and how to improve an keep your health up to date.

Hope this helps.

You don't have to worry about your weight when your a child that much. When you get older you get taller and more muscular. I weigh 132 pounds and I'm almost 13 and 5'8. I'm perfect for my height. If you need any more help go to my child's bmi calculator.
