What should a 5'2 medium framed female weigh?

Answer 1

According to a WOMEN'S graphical chart; Small Frame is: 106 to 118 pounds. Medium Frame is: 115 to 129 pounds. Large Frame is: 125 to 140 pounds. For an adolescent female I would summarize this; Small: 96 to 108, Medium: 105 to 119, Large: 115 to 130.

Answer 2

Since all the decent charts are age-adjusted and sex-adjusted, it is impossible to answer your question.

However, a much better measurement is your percentage of body fat. This will give a good indication of your body composition-whether you are too lean, normal, or too fat. If you are interested in measuring and keeping track of it in the privacy of your own home, buy some plastic body fat callipers, which will come with an instruction booklet and relevant charts. You will probably want to aim for a body fat percentage between 8 and 18%.

Answer 3

Body Weight. There is no simple answer to the question. People are different and so the ideal weight for one person may not be ideal for another. Reasons for differences may be: · Gender: Males and females have different body shapes and sizes and their ideal weights will, therefore, be different. · Racial: People from some races are generally of a smaller build than others. · Genetic: Some families consist of people with large builds, others with smaller ones. This may be due to inherited traits affecting skeletal structure and metabolic rates. · Age is not a very helpful factor because people do not grow at a steady rate. They have periods of rapid growth followed by plateaux. · Height is also not very useful because height and weight do not necessarily move in tandem. A measure, which gained much interest is the Body-Mass Index (BMI). This is calculated as the ratio of the mass (in kilograms) divided by square of the height (in metres) and was used to define underweight, ideal weight and overweight for a given height. However, in addition to the fact that all the issues mentioned above were largely ignored, the major flaw with the BMI is that it does not differentiate between muscular mass and fatty mass. Muscles are denser than fatty tissue so a fit person will have a higher BMI than a person who is carrying a lot of fat.

If you are concerned, you should consult your doctor.
