There are very few women who don't care about the change in numbers on the scale, after all, who doesn't want to have a good body that people can admire?

Women and friends, not only focus on the weight scale numbers to see, height and age are different, but also affect the health weight standards.

And after 50 years of age, women should not compare their current weight with that of young people, 50-year-old women should combine their height and age to see if they are in line with the standard weight and need to lose weight.

After the age of 50, how much weight is normal for women?

Body mass index = weight (kg) ÷ height (m) squared. Set your height and weight into it can be derived from a value, if the value is between 18.5 to 23.9, indicating that the weight is normal, if it is between 24 to 27.9, indicating that the fat, if the value is more than 28 belong to obese, need to lose weight. If the value is less than 18.5 is too thin, should pay attention to supplemental nutrition.
