How it works
- Select a sex and an age group (20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70 and over) to see the average height, weight, and BMI for that category as a guideline.
- The averages use rounded representative values for age- and sex-specific average height and weight published in Japanese public statistics such as the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). Figures vary somewhat by survey year, so treat them only as a guideline.
- Average BMI is calculated from the average height and weight using the formula BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m) squared.
- When you enter your own height and weight, the tool calculates the difference in height and weight from the average, along with your own BMI (including the difference from the average BMI). Input is optional, and the comparison appears once you enter both values.
- The chart shows the average height, weight, and BMI for the selected sex from the 20s through 70 and over, letting you compare how physique trends change with age.
- This tool provides a general guideline based on average values from public statistics; it is not a diagnosis or medical service. Always consult a physician for any assessment of your physique or health, or decisions about losing or gaining weight.
