[rockyracoon]

I'm Gambia apparently.

[pastafreak]

Maybe crafty and I just chew them up and spit them out...;-)

[karenmac60]

I just read an article in the paper about a cannibal tribe from Papua New Guinea who killed 7 men, ate their brains and made soup from their penises. I'm not going to Crafty's for dinner....

[emmie]

[pastafreak]

You can come to mine,karen.....I prefer supermarket food-even if I am a Papuan.....

I don't think the BMIs are a load of rubbish - but then I wouldn't as it says at 23 I am a healthy weight.

[Bambiagain]

I'm 25, which is apparently on the high side of acceptable. But an ex work colleague who was a body builder was told he was technically obese according to his BMI although he was all muscle without an ounce of fat on him. A nurse once told me not to worry about it. The times my BMI has been lower (ie I've lost weight) I'm constantly told I'm far too thin.

Your numbers
Obesity Index
25bmi
BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 77% of males aged 45-59 in your country Global
Above average
You have a higher BMI than 56% of males aged 45-59 in the world

Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 20,124,731 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population
You're most like someone from Dominican Republic*

I liked that site pasta. Very entertaining

[rowanwitch]

ooops another tongan.... 100% bigger than females across the rest of the world they haven't been to Northfield

[tiggerblue10]

I have a lower BMI than 67% of females aged 30-44 in my country.

I have a higher BMI than 56% of females aged 30-44 in the world.

I am like someone from Spain.

[Jeza]

BMI 20. I am liken to Ethiopia. Is that good or bad?

[nannybooby]

baldric you must live in the next mud hut to me - Tonga here too!

[jno]

what is Croatia doing near the top of their list? Pacific Islanders are terribly overweight* (KFC all day) and it's no surprise to find Tonga and Samoa up there, but I've seldom seen fat Croatians. Albanians neither.

*sweeping racist claim alert

Ethiopia, Jeza, is there much famine round your way?

[jomifl]

Average for my age country and gender, but not necessarily optimal.

[Jenarry]

what an intersting link. I'm from madagasca apparently.

[islasmum]

Tonga - 100% fatter than any female in any country, anywhere? Don't know about Northfield, rowanwitch, they all were shopping in Portsmouth last saturday morning!

[FredPuli43]

I am an Ethiopian. I always suspected my mother was keeping a secret from my father.
BMI 22 at 65. Lower than 94 per cent in the UK, only 74 per cent worldwide. I now (9 stone 1 ) weigh over a stone more than when in my 30s, which may be a common feature of age, but still seems a lot.Bang goes my chance of riding a Derby winner, unless they have a very light plate (saddle) and I diet. Damn, another ambition gone !

[jomifl]

I forgot to mention that I'm mexican, CARAMBA!
