You can search and find medical tables that will show you waist size ranges. Height to waist ratio can be used as a better tool than BMI to predict health issues.
The average American male is 5'9" with a 39" waist, otherwise known as fat.

Yeah, simple rule of thumb is you should be looking at
under half your height for pant sizes if you care about your life expectancy. So your typical 6 foot person, should be ideally looking at size 34-35 pants, especially with the vanity sizing. Of course with exceptions.
