Factors Affecting Ideal Weight
Keep in mind that these are general guidelines and that ideal weight can vary depending on various factors, such as:
- Muscle mass: If you have a high muscle mass, your ideal weight may be higher than the average for your height.
- Bone density: If you have a higher bone density, your ideal weight may be higher than the average for your height.
- Age: As you get older, your ideal weight may change due to natural changes in body composition.
- Sex: Men generally have a higher muscle mass and bone density than women, which means their ideal weight may be higher.
It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional to determine your ideal weight and body composition.
