Average Weight by Height and Age

What most adults actually weigh at each height and age — with the healthy range beside it, so you can see the difference between average and healthy.

Healthy range by height (BMI 18.5–24.9)

5'0" (152 cm): 43–58 kg · 5'2": 46–62 kg · 5'4": 49–66 kg · 5'6": 52–70 kg · 5'8": 56–74 kg · 5'10": 59–79 kg · 6'0": 63–84 kg · 6'2": 67–89 kg.

Average adult weight by region

US adults average around 89 kg (men) and 77 kg (women); UK 85 kg and 72 kg; and much of Asia 65 kg and 55 kg. Average is not the same as healthy — most Western averages fall in the overweight band.

How weight changes with age

Adults typically gain 0.5–1 kg per year between 25 and 55, then slowly lose weight after 70 as muscle mass declines. Stable weight through midlife is itself a strong health signal.

Men vs women at the same height

At identical height and BMI, men carry roughly 6–11% less body fat. That is why the same weight can be lean on one person and not on another.

Frame size adjustment

Add or subtract about 10% from the mid-range for large and small skeletal frames. Measure wrist circumference relative to height to estimate frame.

What to do with these numbers

Use the healthy range for your height as a target band, check your waist-to-height ratio (aim under 0.5), and track the direction of change over 6–12 months rather than day-to-day weight.

How this guide is researched and fact-checked

This article is produced by the ToolKit Pro Health Desk using ai-assisted research with human editorial verification against primary sources. educational information only — not medical advice., and is checked by a human editor at the ToolKit Pro editorial desk before publication. Every number, formula and threshold quoted here is traced back to a primary standards body or health authority rather than to another blog, and each figure is re-computed with our own calculators so the worked examples and the live tools on this site always agree. When a definition changes — as with the 2019 SI redefinitions — the affected articles are re-checked and the “updated” date above is bumped.
