How should I weigh?

Age - A large determinant of an IBW is past 14-15 for girls and 16-17 for boys after people stop growing. Human males and females lose 1.5 and 2 inches in height by age 70.

Gender – females weigh less than males and have a higher body fat percentage. Women have lower bone density, whereas men tend to be taller than females. 

Height - The taller persons, the more muscle mass and body fat they have, which results in more weight. A male at a similar height to a female should weigh about 10-20% heavier.

Body Frame size – it impacts the measurement of ideal weight.
