The weight of the person - one of his most important physical characteristics. Both the lack of weight, and its surplus leads to problems with health over time. Correctly to calculate the optimum weight of the person, it is necessary to consider the set of various factors. The most important is to begin to do ""correction of mistakes"" in food and the lifestyle as soon as possible.

1. Traditional approach at calculation of weight consists in use of the standard ratios of growth and weight. There is the table which prompts, what weight is optimum for the person with any given growth. The convenience of this system is that the correct weight can be calculated very quickly. There is also even more simplified approach to calculation of normal weight for the person on his growth. It is the so-called formula of Lorentz.
2. At first it is necessary to measure growth (it is necessary to make it as it is possible more precisely, it is desirable with use of the medical height meter). Calculation of optimum weight for Lorentz's formula is the simplest. It is necessary to take away from human height in centimeters one hundred and to take away from this value the difference (growth in centimeters ""minus"" 150) divided into 2. To simplify calculation of optimum weight and not to be mistaken in calculations, it is possible to use special programs. The interface of one of them is presented in the drawing.
3. One more easy way to determine the ideal weight - to use the special table of the ratio of growth and weight. Advantage of such tables is that their most part considers also age of the person that isn't considered in formulas at all. To use such table quite easily - just find the necessary weight on the crossing of columns of age and growth corresponding to your actual physical parameters. One of such tables is given in the image.
