weight/height proportions

Does anybody know if the height/weight in proportion rule stated by most airlines when recruiting cabin crew is a CAA regulation?

Obviously it does have safety implications if somebody is overweight and unfit but I was wondering whether it is up to the airline to decide this or whether it is a rule from above them?

Just a thought as I don't know of any other job where height and weight are of such importance, would I'm sure be seen as discrimination in any other job!
