What is the right ratio of weight and height?
There is no such thing. People used the body mass index (BMI), which is a ratio of mass (not weight) to the square of the height. A BMI of 18.5 to 25 kg/m2 is considered normal. Below 18.5 is underweight and above 25 is overweight. Above 30 is obese. However, the people who promoted this measure appear to have overlooked the very basic fact that muscles are denser than fat. So, two people can have the same height. If one of them is muscular and has a BMI of just over 25 whereas the other carries a lot of fat and has a BMI of 24.5, the first one is fitter, not fatter!
