Where do they get that from? I haven't weighed that little probably since I was a teenager and I've always been under my ideal BMI and I do exercise quite regularly and eat fairly reasonably healthily.
- throwaway22032 3y agoYeah, that's pretty light even for the UK. That's about my weight before I started working out, and I was thin. Like, really thin. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11534042 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11534042 gives 84kg for men and 70kg for women which to me seems to be on the high side, but then we do have a lot of obese folk.
- zamadatix 3y agoSounds like the world average rather than the regional average. UK looks to be around 77 kg/170 lbs average.
