There is no single ratio. The Body Mass Index has been discredited and is not generally used because muscle is denser than fatty tissue. However, that index was based on the ratio of mass to the squared height - not the height. A height:weight ratio is likely to be useless.

Average weight for a 28 year old black female?

If you want to know what would be a good weight for you, you should not look at average weight. The average weight of all the women in a country (say America for example) could be obese. To calculate whether you have a healthy weight for your age, you should also take your height in consideration. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a equasion you can do pretty easily and it will give you an idea of how thin/ fat/ healthy you are. Take your weight in kilograms, divide it by your (height in metres x height in metres). For example you weigh 62 and your height is 1.75 metres. Then you calculate that 62 divided by (1.75 x 1.75) equals 20. This means that you have a BMI of 20 if you are 1.75m tall and weigh 62 kilograms. But what does BMI mean?? A BMI of below 18.5 is underweight A BMI of 19-25 is healthy A BMI over 25 is over weight Hope this gives you an idea of what a average healthy weight for your age and height would be...
