mmm, wonders if I have a weight problem, here is my result:

Your numbers
Obesity Index
18bmi
BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 99% of males aged 45-59 in your country Global
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 92% of males aged 45-59 in the world

Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 65,015,214 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
You're most like someone from Bangladesh*
* Compared with other males aged 45-59 in BangladeshShare your result

I'm most like someone from Madagascar. I tried to google images of people from Madagascar and apparently I look like a cartoon animal :rotfl:

With a bang-on BMI of 20 (bang on "healthy") I am 93% smaller then the rest of the UK (apparently- this I don't believe tbh) most similar to someone in....


Ethiopia.

Mrs G got Ethiopia too with a BMI of 19. Odd, she's slim but she doesn't exactly look like a famine victim.

Apparently, I'm now less fat than 88% of UK males my age. Which is nice.

BMI is not really a good way of determining fatness though.

Cambodia... It scares me that apparently I have a lower BMI than 85% of the population tho, I thought I was pretty average

I'm "from Indonesia", and am lighter than 76% of UK women my age :eek:. (That's quite gratifying though :P)

I love this, I think it's really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
