    I'm most like someone from the Ivory Coast, tall and slim. This makes sense, ethnically speaking.

    All this thing does is prove the UK is full of fat bastards.



    Really, lower than 73% of males at 23BMI? That's absurd...

    "You have a higher BMI than 98% of females aged 15-29 in the world"

    That's a load of crap. I am overweight, I'll admit that, but that makes it sound like I'm one of the fattest women in the world, which I am far from.

    Isn't BMI inaccurate due to it not taking into account muscle mass - which I have quite a bit of.

    Female 15-29
    BMI : 23
    Height 5ft 5 ( I'm one quarter off 6 inches)
    Weight: 62.9kg
    67% below national average
    60% above world average
    If same BMI remove 7,795,635 tonnes lost

    Most like some one like Azerbaijan - strange

    it might not be that inaccurate since lots of countries were the average is really low have really high populations, china for example. plus there are countries where there are large proportions of the population many people literally starving. so if you are actually fat which you say you are, you probably are in the top 2% of the world.

    I mean with a bmi of 22 which is bang on in the middle of healthy it says I'm heavier than over half of the population of the world which I don't really find surprising despite being lighter than 75% of this country

    BMI = 24

    You have a lower BMI than 64% of males aged 15-29 in your country.

    You have a higher BMI than 64% of males aged 15-29 in the world.

    You're most like someone from Jordan (not a bad guess; I'm half Lebanese).

    However, this clearly hasn't taken into account my sexy muscle bulk.
