      Based on available data, the average weight for women in Saudi Arabia is around 63 kg (approximately 138.9 lbs).

      It’s important to note a few things:

      • Source Date: One of the more commonly cited figures (63 kg) comes from a study by Al-Malki et al. (2003). While this is a well-referenced study, it’s over two decades old.
      • More Recent Data/Variations: More recent general compilations, like the Wikipedia page on human body weight by country (which cites a 2005 measured study for Saudi Arabia), show the average female weight at 71.7 kg (158.1 lb). This suggests a potential increase in average weight over time, possibly due to changes in lifestyle and diet.
      • Prevalence of Overweight/Obesity: Studies consistently indicate a high prevalence of overweight and obesity among Saudi women, which would contribute to a higher average weight. For instance, one study found that 30% of women were overweight and 22% obese.
      • Regional Differences: As with other countries, there can be regional variations within Saudi Arabia. One study indicated that in highland areas, the average weight for women was 61.9 kg, while in lowland areas it was 52.4 kg (though this data might be from a specific region and not nationally representative).

      Given the trends and the more recent data available, it’s likely that the current average weight for women in Saudi Arabia is closer to the 70-72 kg (154-158 lbs) range than the older 63 kg figure, but precise, large-scale, very recent national surveys might provide more definitive numbers.
