What is the ideal weight for a 12 year girl measuring 4 foot 9 inches?

Answer 1

"Ideal" weight and the amount one really should weigh depends on his or her body shape, physical activity, and overall health. For example, a person who lifts weights a great deal will weigh more than someone who does not because of the increased muscle mass. Thus, that person's weight may be the same as someone who is inactive. However, we use the term "ideal body weight" in medicine to refer to a calculation that has to do with the height and sex of a person. The ideal body weight for a girl who is 4'9" is 96 pounds As an FYI, the calculation for women is 48.67 + (1.65 - (inches-60)) Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Answer 2

I am 20, 5'3, 125 pounds, and I really do think of myself as being at a healthy weight. I distinctly remember crossing the 100 lb mark when I was13. Then I thought of myself as "fat" like every teenager at some point wrongly thinks, but looking back that's when I was probably at my healthiest. I would say somewhere around 85-95 lbs would be healthy for a 4'9 12 yr old.
