Assuming your dad is an American, I have to ask, is he a "normal weight" or his he "healthy weight?"
74% of adult males in the US are overweight or obese[1], which would make it the norm.

- garrettgrimsley 11y agoThe vast majority of the time that I hear someone talk about "normal weight" they are referring to the average US weight, not the NIH definition. For example, I'm regularly called a "skeleton" or "beanpole." At 6' and 155lbs I fall in to the "NIH normal," but far below the "US normal." Were you referring to the NIH normal, or the US normal?
