Not sure about the person who coded the maths into the web page.

UK - below average - your have less fat than 86% of males aged 60-69 in your country.

Global - above average - you have less body fat than 57% of males aged 60-69 in the world :?:
If I have less that 57% then how does this make me above average?

It also tell me I'm most like someone from Ghana.
Though that presumably isn't the mean BMI for Ghana but only those in my age range.
So the graph suggests that the over 60s in Ghana have a higher BMI than average.

Still, I am officially UK skinny

Cheers

Re: Overweight?

Lucy, Catza and Momblegoose I'm not much better - 97 & 98% respectively and I thought I was doing so well with the weight I'd already managed to lose!

I won't let it put me off though. People have already noticed a difference.

Your numbers:-

National
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 82% of females aged 45-59 in your country

Global
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 62% of females aged 45-59 in the world


Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 3,526,796 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

You're most like someone from China*




I'm very happy about that. This time last year before I lost 5.5 stone the result would have been:-


Your numbers

You're most like someone from Tonga*
