Looking for up to date, not those old life insurance charts, of average weights in proportion to height and also frame. Thanks.

BMI isn't accurate. It doesn't account for your muscle and fat. Neither does this chart, but it's what you asked for. It gives you a range, and is somewhat helpful.

there is none, this was not a chart designed by a doctor but by a mathematician to give relation of height to mass. It has not been updated since it was developed

You need to calculate you Body mass Index. I've put a link to the Center for Diease Control BMI calculator in the references.

generally it is safe to say that at 5' 100 lbs is ideal. then you add 5 pounds for every inch over 5'. of course this depends on whether you are male or female.
