I am fatter than 100% of males in my age range in the world. I'm no statistician but I think that makes me some sort of winner. I am most like someone from Micronesia, wherever that is, but I have a hunch they aren't very micro.

Who are you fatter than?

Isn't it 'as fat as', rather than 'fatter than'?

I'm most like someone from Senegal apparently, and if everyone in the world had the same body fat as me, it would remove 25,522,372 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population.

The really scary thing is that I wouldn't say I'm particularly slim... there's a definite belly and I've still got less body fat than 79% of the others in my age range in this country!

You probably should! That is into "Underweight" which can be just as bad for you as overweight.

emsz: you're pretty much on the borderline between "Underweight" and "Healthy".
BMI is a very rough measure though. You know your body better and sounds like you are perfectly sensible.

Just don't get TOO skinny eh?

Tonga.

In summary: YOU'RE FAT!

No sh1t Sherlock.

EDIT: Just fiddled with the numbers, I need to "loose" 37kg to be classed as "average" or "grow" an extra 37cm.

The last time I was close to 81kg was when I was in hospital recovering from a Goa inspired case of dysentery. I nearly died. 100kg would be nice, but I would still be classed as very overweight / borderline obese.

Gone from being Australian to Armenian. Onthe plus side my new nation is 'the 39th most economically free nation in the world' and for the arts 'Armenian music is a mix of indigenous folk music, perhaps best-represented by Djivan Gasparyan's well-known duduk music, as well as light pop, and extensive Christian music.'(wikipeidia, the source of all knowledge)I do love that christian light pop.

Hm,
I am sure it's not working at the moment.

tried it and it said:
You have less body fat than 100% of females aged 30-44 in your country
You have less body fat than 100% of females aged 30-44 in the world

tried it several times with different numbers and it gave me the same result.
maybe I have to check the country? Maybe people in my country like to lie to themselves? 🙂

As its based on bmi then it doesn't make sense on a personal level but fine as a comparison.

My results

Lower than 87% of uk males 30-44
Lower than 58% ol world

I'm from brunei apparently.

With my pre holiday weight it would be 92%/67% and I'd be in Mali just now
