Height/Weight Charts

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company revised their height/weight charts in 1983. New statistics showed that despite a few more pounds, their subscribers were not dying earlier. The new charts reflect the weights of people that lived the longest in each height category; they are not ideal weight tables. Some health educators recommend lower weight ranges than those specified here. But, if you have chased a few pounds for years that put you over "ideal body weight," relax. The new charts show that those few pounds will probably not increase your mortality.

FRAME SIZE

If you have always wondered what size frame you are, here is the method the insurance company used. This will be easier with the help of a friend.

1. Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety degree angle to your body. (Your arm is parallel to your body).
2. Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist to your body.
3. Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure or calipers.
4. Compare to the medium-framed chart below. Select your height based on what you are barefoot. If you are below the listed inches, your frame is small. If you are above, your frame is large.
