Human body weight refers to the mass or heaviness of an individual. It is typically measured in units such as kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs) and can vary significantly based on several factors, including: 1. **Height**: Taller individuals generally weigh more than shorter individuals due to larger body frames. 2. **Age**: Body weight can change across different life stages; children and teenagers typically gain weight as they grow, while older adults may lose weight due to factors like muscle loss.
