RealKorean Seonung  +  396394 Wed, 25 Jul 07 10:13 AM Hello~~ This is SEONWOONG from Korea(Rok) When I read some article related to nutrition, I didn't get the meaning of the term. Like as the title says, I'm wondering the meaning of "weight-for-height". Could you tell me about the meaning?

These show the correct weight for the height of the person.  As examples see here: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm and here: http://www.1is2fat.com/weight_chart.htm Feebs11 Joined on Thu, Nov 23 2006 UK Veteran Member 5,015

In this context, term weight-for-height refers to the relation between your weight and your height. For example my height is 185cm, so my weight should have been 85Kg. Then I would have the health weight-for-height factor. Other important element for the computation of weight-for-height factor is your age.
