The importance of having a weight within normal ranges for the maintenance of good health is discussed, being overweight and obesity one of the main risk factors for the development of various chronic conditions.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, an entity attached to the National Institutes of Health of the United States, this condition can favor the appearance of conditions such as diabetes, kidney complications and other heart problems. .
For this reason, it is essential to pay attention to the recommendations of professionals regarding the appropriate weight. The first thing to say is that there is not a single standard for all people, because other factors must also be taken into account, generally related to the physical state of the people.
However, many people do not know what is the ideal weight to which they should aspire and which they should maintain in order to be healthy, while being comfortable with their body.
And although there is no exact weight, which becomes the absolute truth of what a person should have, there is a range that should not be exceeded. Therefore, if a person measures 1.70, an average height in Colombia, the weight should be between 65 and 72 kilograms. However, for women of this same height, the ideal weight would be between 57 and 65 kilograms. Always depending on the physical build of each person.
The Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Colombia notes that to calculate the BMI it is necessary to know the weight in kilograms and the height in meters of a person. In this way, a mathematical formula is applied that consists of dividing the weight between the height squared: BMI = Weight (kilograms) / Height squared (meters).
