    I have less body fat than 81% of women 30-44 in USA, and 50% of women Globally. Not bad :)

    but I'd like to get down lower. I'm still in an "adding weight" to the world (if everyone weighed like me) even if just a little. I'd like to be in a "removing weight" zone. 20-21 bmi type thing.

    This was really interesting, thanks for posting. Apparently my bmi is 19 and I'm below average both nationally as well as globally. I'm most likely from Vietnam. hahaha

    I love this threat thanks for sharing,!
    having more 50% or 100 % fat then most of the people living in the world doesnt necessary means u can´t move.
    even thought i am arround 85 % more fat then most of women my age living in the planet, with less 13 kilos i will have a healthy weight . Theres alot of people bellow whats considered healthy weight .

    Acording to the whes there is 925 million hungry people in 2010, not counting the people that are malnourished across the world

    Not very accurate at all. I was told I am most like someone from South Korea and trust me my body type is far from it1

    This can't be right, can it?
    I know loads of people much bigger than myself but it calculated me as having "more body fat than 100% of males aged 45-59 in the world" which by my thinking would make me the fattest 53 year old on the planet and at 19 stone 10 lbs. I don't think so, lol...

    I am most like someone from Vietnam.

    I have 97% less body fat than females ages 15-29 in my country (US)

    I have 86% less body fat than females of the same age group in the world.

    I'll take it- it's kind of cool seeing those numbers!

    That's a very innaccurate way to measure body fat. What if I were a body builder who weighed 350 lbs? I'd weigh more than a big fat guy.

    Currently I'm less fat than 65% of UK females aged 15-29 but have more body fat than 62% of females globally.

    The good news is that in just a few months when I am 30 I will suddenly have LESS body fat than 55% of females aged 30-44. That's quite a big swing but I'm not complaining!

    It says less body fat than 92% of people in my age group in the US and less bf than 70% of the world in my age group.

    Most like someone from Zimbabwe.

    It's wrong, though. At least according to NHANES data and a DXA scan, I've got less body fat than 99% of men in my age group in the US.

    How can you calculate body fat percentage based on sex, age, height and weight. Complete rubbish! The BBC should know better.

    EXACTLY! They're not calculating body fat percentage... they're basing this all on the flawed BMI scale. I'm 37 on that scale but have 28% body fat.

    That makes me feel so much better!

    Well I think it has made my wife re-consider her body image! She is most like someone from North Korea so it's only the African countries such as Etheopia, and Asian contries such as Bangladesh - essentially the countries where the is a lot of malnourishment, that she is bigger than!

    Next time she tells me she feels fat I'm going to re-visit this!
