Your Body Frame Analysis
| Frame Size | Male (Height/Wrist Ratio) | Female (Height/Wrist Ratio) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | > 10.4 | > 11.0 | Lighter bone structure relative to height |

Every person has a different body type, and not all healthy weights look the same. The Body Frame Size Calculator helps you understand your natural bone structure. This tool tells you if you have a small, medium, or large frame based on your height and wrist size.
Why Body Frame Size Matters
Your frame size plays a big role in setting realistic weight and fitness goals. For example, someone with a large frame may naturally weigh more, even if they are healthy and fit. That’s why knowing your frame size helps avoid confusion about weight numbers.
How to Measure Body Frame Size
To use the Body Frame Size Calculator, follow these steps:
Step 1: Measure your wrist with a tape measure (in inches or cm).
Step 2: Enter your height.
Step 3: The calculator will compare your wrist size to your height to tell you your frame size.
Body Frame Size Categories
Once you input your data, the calculator will show one of the following frame types:
Small Frame: Light bone structure, usually leaner appearance.
Medium Frame: Average bone structure, balanced build.
Large Frame: Bigger bone structure, naturally more body mass.
Example
Let’s say a woman is 5'6" tall (about 167 cm) and has a wrist size of 6.2 inches. Based on these numbers, the calculator may tell her she has a medium frame. This helps her plan a healthy weight goal that's right for her build.
Frame Size and Ideal Weight
Your ideal weight range should match your frame size. A small-framed person may have a lower ideal weight, while a large-framed person’s healthy weight may be higher. This avoids setting unrealistic targets and helps with long-term health planning.
