How Much Should I Weigh at 64?

Weight at age 64 varies.

BMI Gives a Standard

Your ideal body weight, can be determined by calculating your Body Mass Index. The BMI Calculator measures height for weight, and then based on that calculation you can find out if you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese. To calculate your BMI, divide your weigh by your height in inches. Divide that answer by your height in inches again. Multiply that number by 703. That will equal your BMI.

Body Composition Varies

The formulas for calculating body weight don't take into account body composition. Some people have larger, thicker bones, and some people have more muscle mass. Both of these considerations will give someone a heavier weight over a person who has thinner bones and a person who is not very muscular. The BMI calculator is the same for men and women.

Bottom Line

Your height, body frame and gender will determine how much you should weigh. Talk with your physician to see where your body type is located on the chart and what range you should fall into.
