There is no absolute answer in relation the average weight of a person who is 5' 8." The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. Body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights. Therefore, what counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. What is important is body composition. If you are male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health. If you are female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% for good health. To determine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive, are readily available to buy, and can replace a scale or balance.
