Body Weight: Females, Age 50-59

What these numbers mean

A value around 78.5 kg (173.1 lb) is typical (50th percentile) for women in this age group. The middle 50% of the reference population fall between about 65.2 kg (143.7 lb) and 95.5 kg (210.5 lb); values below or above that central range sit in the lower or upper half of the distribution.

Ages 20 and over are measured US population percentiles from NHANES 2021-2023. Ages 2 to 19 are from NHANES 2015-2018, by single year of age at examination, with 114 to 249 children measured per age and sex. Because weight alone does not account for height, percentile position is not a healthy-weight category.
