[quote=Anonymous]OP, there is not an ideal body weight based on height alone. The answer depends entirely on your body composition (how much fat you have vs muscle). There is a lot of research indicating that more muscle is great for your health - both in terms of preventing disability as you age and also helping you survive acute medical issues. There is also a lot of research indicating that body fat - particularly abdominal fat - is associated with really bad health outcomes. So I think a better question is “what’s your body fat percentage and what would you like it to be?”. Body fat percentage can be calculated pretty easily with calipers and a tape measure. The Navy method (you can google it) seems to be the most research-supported from what I can tell. [/quote]
