Quick question about height/size

The Insurance Industry obtained a lot of data from live people from all walks of life.
So how heavy SHOULD a normal active woman, aged about 30, six foot one, weight then?
Very hard to say. Let's drop down to a smaller woman. Like 5'3". I'm sure you know some very delicately boned ladies, naturally small breasted, etc. who weigh next to nothing at that size. I'm sure you also know some very athletic ladies with a lot of muscle on a fairly strong boned frame who weigh quite a bit more--but it's all muscle (remember, muscle weighs more than fat). And I'm sure you know some ladies who are large breasted and heavy in the hips with big bones who may weigh more, but may not be actually fat. Just well proportioned for those bones.

Our fine boned lady weighs, let's say 105 tops. Our muscular woman weights about 120 and our curvaceous woman 135. Yet we'd say that all of them were healthy and not at all over or under weight for their height or age (A 30 year old woman is probably going to weigh more than she did at 19 after all. Nature of slowing hormones and such).

In the bad old days, there was a "one-size-fits-all" aspect. If a woman was 5'3" she had to be 110-115 or she was fat. Because that was the average. But we recognize in these good old days that there are a lot of different body types. And some very short women might have heavier bones and lots of muscle making them weight a lot more even though their ratio of fat isn't above average.

Which is all to say, the average for a 6' woman might have a thirty pound range: X weight to Y weight. And as we *are* talking about a 6' woman who is carrying some fat (that's what BBW means), the question isn't really what is average, but what kind of BBW? Like this perhaps?
