Body, Height & Weight - What's Normal? / Question
Published: January 17, 2001

Dear TeenHealthFX,

What is the average height and weight for me?

Dear Average Height And Weight,

 

TeenHealthFX cannot tell you what your specific height and weight is.  We do not know how old you are or whether you are male or female.  If you are concerned about yourself, a good way to find out if you are at a healthy height and weight is to visit your doctor.  Your doctor knows you and your background and can chart your height and weight on a chart.

 

Another way to get an idea if you are at a healthy weight is to see the question Appropriate Height & Weight.  This will give you an idea where you are.

 

If you do not have your own doctor and you live in Northern NJ, you can contact the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973.889.6350 for an appointment or a referral.
