Abstract:
Based on the body height and weight of the Chinese young men, 975 from the north and 921 from the south of China, actually measured, a calculating formula for the ideal body weight of young men both of north and south listed blow was established. The Northener's ideal body weight (kg) = [height (cm) - 150] ? 0.6 +50; the Southener's ideal body weight(kg) = [height (cm.) - 150] ? 0.6 +48. The formula later checked by another data of body height and weight of 783 young men from north and 883 from south has been proved to be reliable. It also showed that the ideal body weight of 1464 young men from north and 2264 from south calculated according to the formula seemed to be more reasonable than the another's formula used previously.
