Puny 5'9", 43 yr. old Dad weighs 170?!


Question:

Puny 5'9", 43 yr. old Dad weighs 170?

My dad weighs 170, but doesn't have like any muscle at all, especially upper body strength. He definitely doesn't look like he weighs that much and he doesn't look overweight at all. The only place that looks a bit fat is his belly which is kinda large. He also slouches a lot. He is 5'9" and is 43 yrs old. Is his health okay?


Answers:

Take a tape measure and measure around his stomach. If its less than 40 inches, he's okay. If its more, he's at higher risk for diabetes and heart disease. Don't be too hard on poor dad.
