My numbers
Obesity Index: 20 BMI
National
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 92% of females aged 15-29 in your country
Global
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 70% of females aged 15-29 in the world
Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 50,703,876 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
Just wonder how accurate their stats are and how they accumulated the info.
Well, reading a bit further I found the answer:
Using UN data on population size in 177 countries, together with estimates of global weight from the WHO and mean height from national health examination surveys the team were able to calculate average BMI figures for each country.0 -
Above average for UK and global.
That's depressing.
'You have a higher BMI that 93% of females aged 15-29 in the world'.

Well, this made me happy: You have a lower BMI than 78% of females aged 30-44 in your country.
But this made me sad: you have a higher BMI than 54% of females aged 30-44 in the world. And even worse:
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you it would add 8,553,896 tones to the total weight of the world population! !! :sad: Boo.
And my country is Djibouti, which of course made me feel even more like a fat, lazy, stupid American because I know virtually nothing about it.
