    National: You have a lower BMI than 82% of females aged 15-29 in your country.

    Global: You have a lower BMI than 56% of females aged 15-29 in the world.

    Interesting...! Then again, it's BMI, so who pays any attention to that :P

    If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 30,062,614 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population."

    I was curious so I googled. According to Wiki:

    Tongan meals consist of staple foods, such as yam, taro, sweet potato, cassava, fish, pork, and canned meats. One of the most common dishes is cooked taro leaves with coconut cream

    The traditional Tongan diet has been quite negatively affected by overfishing etc. However that being said I know quite a few Tongans and they are big people generally. Most that I know would never be in a healthy BMI even at really low body fat. Same with Samoans.
