Dear sergio1000,

The most recent comprehensive US data collection on body weight, by
race and sex, is the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
from the year 1994. The extensive tables cover the following:

- Weight in pounds for males 20 years and over, by race-ethnicity and age

- Weight in kilograms for males 20 years and over, by race-ethnicity and age

- Weight in pounds for females 20 years and over, by race-ethnicity and age

- Weight in kilograms for females 20 years and over, by race-ethnicity and age

The tables are available in PDF format (for Acrobat Reader) only.

Is that what you are looking for? Please let me know.

Regards,
Scriptor
