This height / weight table was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department                                                                          of Health and Human Services. It offers a range of suggested weights for adults based on their height.

Height/weight tables may indicate that a lean, muscular person is "overweight", while a person whose                                                                        weight is within the "normal" range might actually be carrying around more fatty tissue than is healthy.

Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratios are also reasonable measurements of weight.
