BMI 29, otherwise known as "Fat Bastard"
Age 62-1/2
5'11"
205 lb
USA
Although this has no particular relevance to me, I consider that BMI is a sub-par way of measuring one's health (or whatever it is supposed to be measuring). There is no allowance for body type, muscularity, overall fitness, or the presence of disease. By this measure, most professional (American) football players would be classified as "obese."

I'm not telling!
Let's just say that I haven't taken very good care of myself the past two years.

Don't cry for me, Argentina.....
P.S. Yeah, I guess my Spanish is pretty bad (blame it on Google Translate), but I was not prepared to suddenly find myself in South America!!!

Interestingly I was told that I was most like someone from Italy, which is where my parents are from. Genetics and pasta will win out in the end, I guess.

Well that was confronting.
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 females aged 45-59 in your country
Global - Below average
You have a lower BMI than 54% of females aged 45-59 in the world
Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 9,909,133 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population
According to the site, I am most likely from Myanmar.
Bloody Myanmar.
It's a good thing I have recently made changes to my intakes. I am aiming for India.

Don't forget folks BMI is an undiscriminating measure.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, at the height of his bodybuilding fame and beauty, was clinically obese according to the BMI, but he carried a great deal of muscle rather than fat.
I suffer from the same problem,
to a slightly lesser degree....
