BMI Global Measures.

So I went here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18770328 and entered my numbers to see where I fall globally and with-in the US for BMI.  I found this interesting but not sure BMI is an appropriate measure for everyone.  My opinion it just happens to be the best method they have for the general or average population.  Still interesting to see this compared globally.  

Your numbers

Obesity Index

20bmi

BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is

National

Below average

You have a lower BMI than 92% of females aged 30-44 in your country

Global

Below average

You have a lower BMI than 74% of females aged 30-44 in the world

Did you know?

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 40,482,703 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

You're most like someone from Sri Lanka.

So just out of curiosity after it told me the above comment I googled images of women from Sri Lanka since I've never been just to see who I'm most like and got this:

 

From what I could tell (assuming these images are accurate because we know what is on the internet is always right, right?) women from Sri Lanka lead a much different life than me.  But maybe I realize I live in a much more sedentary society and make up for it with my exercise?  So see Mom training for an Ironman is not an abnormal amount of exercies! :-)  P.S. this last week my lifestyle did not resemble this at all!  

Do you use BMI at all?  

Happy Friday and Happy Training!
