Population sample collected by the National Center for Heath
Statistics can be used to get age-weight distributions for a general
population (separately, for adults, youth and kids). It is not
straightforward to get data in a convenient format but the data are
there:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/nhanes/nh3data.htm
Data can be sampled from this collection, or if needed, described in a
parametric way to sample from a derived distribution.

Subject: [NMusers] Body weight distribution
Dear NMusers,
I have been looking for publications describing the body weight
distribution in the general adult population, and more specifically
for those reporting a parametric analysis of this distribution. I
found one publication which focused on the US population (Portier et
al, Risk Anal
2007 Feb;27(1):11-26) and wonder if anyone knows of any other
relevant articles on the topic.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien
