The importance of height and weight
A reasonable height-to-weight ratio is very important for good health. Too low or too high height and weight can lead to health problems. Low height and weight may mean malnutrition or some disease, such as anemia or thyroid problems. Excessive height and weight may lead to obesity and increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
To determine whether your height and weight are reasonable, you can use body mass index (BMI) to evaluate. Body mass index is a number calculated according to height and weight, which can help to judge whether a person is overweight or obese. The calculation formula of body mass index is weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m).
According to the standards of the World Health Organization, the body mass index is considered as a normal range between 18.5 and 24.9. A body mass index below 18.5 indicates underweight, while a body mass index above 24.9 indicates overweight. A body mass index of over 30 is defined as obesity.
