Height and weight tables
Weight and height tables are available for infants, children, adolescents and adults. Tables may be used to determine the recommended weight range for a given height (ideal body weight). Ranges are based on the body frame size, and there are separate tables for men and women. The estimates are approximate and may be inaccurate in certain situations such as that of body builder (heavily muscled) or pregnant women.
