Reply from mr. to Henry, Age 12 - 07/13/03 - IP#: 12.223.93.xxx I really didn't see that "intended for adults" thing, but you do bring up a rather good point. I think mostly your finger size is going to correspond to your wrist in the way its intended, or they would also probably say there is a high risk this won't work or not post it on the site at all. (I've heard health professionals tell people to do this test so I quess it's a bit reliable). I feel a little stupid about the adults not children part, but I've used a few adult calculators on me and they seem to work the same as children ones. I think you should try the calculator anyway but just don't take it too literally. Sorry about that mistake. ^_^
Reply from henry to mr., Age 14 - 07/12/03 - IP#: 67.75.200.xxx that calculator says at the bottom: "This healthy weight calculation is intended for adults, not children," - also what if ur fingers are short fingers or long fingers?
Reply from mr., Age 12 - 07/12/03 - IP#: 12.223.93.xxx No. Probably not. But if you want to check your "frame" or bone size wrap your index finger and thumb around your wrist. If the fingers overlap you have a small bone structure; they touch, medium; they don't touch,large. This can actually be important to determining a healthy weight. It can differ on what is the healthy weight for someone who has a small bone structure to a medium or large one. It can even differ in a matter of 20-40 lbs. You can probably get this checked out on the web; In fact I have found a web page just for that: http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/tl/cl/healthyweight/healthyweight.jsp It's a calculator to find your (about average) healthy weight based on height and overlapping your fingers on your wrist. You probably don't need to lose anything so don't worry, ok? ^_^
