You can go to your primary physician to
determine your Ideal Body Weight (IBW)
according to your Body Height (BH), age
and sex. The most commonly used formula
for determining IBW for males is:
If your weight is more than 10% lower than
the IBW for your age, you are probably
suffering from malnutrition. If you are
suffering from malnutrition, several blood
analyses have to be done: a blood picture,
sedimentation, creatinin, transferin,
albumin, complement(C3),… We usually
don’t consider cancer at your age,
although you can follow up on your
intuitive feeling at the physician's
office.
