Charts for adults male height and weight are available here.  These are also interesting, because they not only show the average height, they also show that adults have a considerably higher prevalence of obesity than children.

The data source for this chart is the NHANES III  survey, conducted in America during 1988 to 1994. The CDC used this dataset, as well as datasets from several older surveys, to construct the CDC standard pediatric growth charts.
