Correct weight for women
This was given to me in 1983 by a pathologist. It is a calculation of your correct weight based on height and age rather than insurance company charts.
I had lost the little piece of paper and it decided to show up last night.
Divide height in inches by 66. Square the result, multiply by age, add 100 = correct weight +/- 15 lbs.
I believe men get to add 2 (divide by 68 instead of 66), but I didn't make a note of that.

I expect the muscle bound get the higher range and the less active get the lower range.
