I'm like someone from Oman, apparently. Smack-dab in the middle of my normal range. Lower BMI than 78% of US women in my age bracket - but how the hell can you compare a 29-year old to a 15-year old? Seems a bit ridiculous.

23bmi

lower BMI then 87% of US 30-44

Apparently i'd fit right in on the average in Papua New Guinea

"You have a lower BMI than 68% of males aged 45-59 in your country."

Woo!!

"You have a higher BMI than 69% of males aged 45-59 in the world."

Oh.
Aw. :/

It does seem a fairly large range. But I'm fairly close to my weight when i was 30(40 now)

Ironic that Micronesia has the fattest people.

ME WANT FOOD!

Tonga! Egads I am the fat. I need to be taller.

You have a lower BMI than 75% of females aged 30-44 in your country

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 12,657,935 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
You're most like someone from Rwanda*
* Compared with other females aged 30-44 in Rwanda

In the past few years I've gained 20+ pounds and feel out of shape (which I still am, wouldn't hurt to do some exercise). This made me feel better.

Cripes, Fark, wtf, are you trying to drive me to depression today?

I'm of Irish stock, so my dick must be small.

I have a beard, so women will find me less attractive.

And now:
"You have a lower BMI than 63% of males aged 30-44 in your country" - Oh, wait, woohoo!
"You have a higher BMI than 75% of males aged 30-44 in the world" - D'oh!

Hmmm, my girlfriend is Ethiopian apparently. I may be forcing her to eat more sammiches from now on.

Just another reason to visit Turkmenistan.

/Door to Hell!!!
//I guess that's it

Well that was depressing.

majestic: BMI is a stupid metric.

you sound fat

I just gotta gain a few inches.

My skinny as a rail husband is most like a North Korean apparently. I find this both sad and amusing.

Apparently I'm the fattest man in the world in my age bracket:

"You have a higher BMI than 100% of males aged 30-44 in the world"

But I'm a male aged 30-44 in the world, so I have a higher BMI than myself?

I think I need to head to the nearest Walmart to verify this finding. Also, to eat some deep-fried lard, and everything else that gets near my mouth.

6'3" 260lbs with a 53" chest and a 42" waist. According to this, I"m fatter then 89% men 15-29 in the US. and 100% of 15-29 year olds in the world. I always hated these BMI charts, as they never take my body type into consideration.

24 BMI

44 year old male, 6' 3", 195 pounds

I am most likely Algerian.

Misleading calculator is misleading. Notice the don't take body type into their calculation? So a bodybuilder, that is 5' 10" and weighs 250 lbs with 0% body fat, would be considered "obese" according to this.

Confused. How can I be below average BMI (both country and world), yet "If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 2,455,498 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population"?

I would be more worried about the fact that despite the age range including the majority of teenage girls, you've still got a lower BMI that 78% of them.

/Not worried for YOU, necessarily

Okay, apparently I am skinnier than people in Ethiopia (and everywhere else, actually). Maybe I need to eat more....

It doesn't say anything about fat it compares your BMI to the population in your country and the world and tells you if you are higher or lower than average.

You have a lower BMI than 84% of females aged 30-44 in your country

Seriously? I'm more than a little surprised by that since I'm not exactly militant about my diet and exercise.

You're most like someone from India

/Getting a kick since I've been craving vindaloo as of late...

Below Average BMI for both the USA and the globe, most like someone from Gabon. Suck it, fatties.

You have a lower BMI than 97% of males aged 30-44 in your country.

Just confirming that I need to gain some weight if I plan to ever buy a pair of pants again in this country. Goddamn fatties. If my inseam were my waist size I'd be just fine, however.

Same here. I'm most like someone from Micronesia. Micronesia.

And Arnold Swarzeneggar in his prime would be considered "morbidly obese" on the BMI metric. BMI is retarded and assumes average muscle mass.

I just can't believe that being overweight according to BMI is higher than 55% of the US males around my age - the mean BMI of 27.11 seems off... until I realize that the range starts at age 15. Also, the rest of the world is confirmed for girly men.

Says I'm like someone from Mongolia and a BMI of 25, but I don't really fit into the BMI scale because I'm really athletic and muscular.

right. The entire population of Fark--indeed, of the U.S--is apparently all bodybuilders.

I am Qatar and my wife is Ethiopia.

I'm really hoping BMI is skewed for tall people. 'Cause there's no way I'm more "overweight" than 96% of the US or 100% of the rest of the world.

Agreed. World class athletes shouldn't use BMI. For the average person it is a pretty good estimate.

Same results....I find that frightening as I was thinking I needed to drop a few more pounds. I think I'll go eat some ice cream instead. :)

It is definitely weird - and I was shocked, honestly, to have a lower BMI than 78% of Americans in my age bracket, because I'm not tiny. I'm actively trying to lose another ten pounds right now, just to feel more confident about myself - I'm dieting and doing hot yoga 3x a week. It's a pain in the ass but I'm feeling healthier. I'm sick of not liking what I see in the mirror, so to think that 78% of women my age have a higher BMI? I don't know... it's a reality check and it makes me feel kinda good about myself, but it's also troubling.

Very strange, since I'm only about 7 lbs. above my competitive bodyweight?
