Countries / Japan

Japan weight data.

A production-backed view of the modeled adult weight distribution for Japan, including the comparable 2022 baseline and any stronger national age/sex routes available in Weight99.

DIRECT ANSWER

60 kg modeled mean. 58.8 kg modeled median.

These values describe the comparable 2022 all-adult Weight99 baseline for Japan. They are descriptive model outputs, not health targets. Personal comparisons can use a stronger route when age and sex exactly match one of the production-cleared national bands shown below.

COMPARABLE BASELINE

Adult reference weights.

The three rows below come from the same normalized 2022 G4 country model, so all-adult, women and men summaries share one comparable baseline framework.

STRONGER NATIONAL DETAIL

12 matched routes available.

Stronger routes are shown separately because their source periods and population definitions can differ from the normalized 2022 global baseline. Weight99 uses them only for a matching personal context rather than mixing them into cross-country rankings.
