The research is concerned with the development of a mathematical model for estimating the body weight of human beings in relation to some of their anthropometric parameters (height and waist sizes). The model was optimized to know whether it is possible for humans to have a maximum or minimum body weight. However, the optimization result showed that there is no specific body weight that could be called a maximum or minimum. Emphasis was laid mainly on a particular proportion of Nigerians from the north- west geopolitical zone (as a case study ) in order to be able to make generalizations about the entire country and beyond. Hence, the population sample for the research was the Taraba State of Nigeria’s Community. Moreover, several recommendations were made at the end of the model analysis which when adhered to, would bring about some medical breakthroughs to the entire human populace.
