Found this nice tool: you enter your height, weight, age and sex and it calculates your BMI, then it compares your BMI to that of the average in your Country and other Countries in the World and tells you where your average BMI is that of the majority of the population.
I got this:
You have a lower BMI than 55% of females aged 30-44 in your country
You have a lower BMI than 56% of females aged 30-44 in the world
You're most like someone from Papua New Guinea
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 7,012,630 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
