Spine & Weight

What is the optimal weight for maintaining a healthy spine?

Excess weight can place undue stress on the spine, leading to accelerated wear and tear. Various methods help determine a person’s ideal weight, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Ponderal Index, and Broca’s Index. Among these, Broca’s Index provides a straightforward calculation: subtract 100 from a person’s height in centimeters to estimate their optimal weight.
