How do you compare to the rest of the world? This may have been better in 'Motivation and Support' - but have a go anyway:

Go to this website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18770328

Enter your stats and post your results back here.

I'm most like someone from Tonga, that looks like a very bad thing so probably a good job i'm on MFP :)
