    Are you a fattie?

    Cool website that easily calculates a bunch of metrics associated with health.

    http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/


    (Sorry, it's not metric-friendly. It could still be worth it to convert in google just to appraise your health risks)

    Me:
    6'1" 205lbs 33inch waist
    BMI: 27.1 (overweight )
    Waist-to-height: 45.2%
    Body Fat %: 10.6%
    Willoughby weight: 204lbs
    Willoughby waist: 33.5inch

    Interestingly...
    David P Willoughby, who was a champion body builder in the early twentieth century, performed extensive anthropometrics measurements on highly-conditioned (male) athletes and found a direct proportionality between waist and height. His ideal form had a WHtR of 45.8%.
    My waist-to-height ratio and weight are both at Willoughby's ideal! Pretty cool. I'm like the perfect physical specimen though my BMI says I'm overweight

    Kind of cool to find out you're like literally physically perfect

      Dude, you're fat, get used to it.
      You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

        Actually, it's worse than that: you are fat and stupid, so no wonder you are a virgin.

          Mine is virtually spot on for Willoughby too, so clearly this is a crap test if I am some sort of physical ideal...

          The major difference is that my BMI is only 25.7, so not obese...

          The waist to height (45.7) is interesting because I'd have to bust my gut by another 5 inches just to even make it to 'at risk'!

          Not bad for being old and unfit!
          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

              Waist is usually measured at one inch above the navel.

                Below is the hips, which isn't the waist.

                              Actually, you might be better off depending on how tall you are. The 37" inch for increased health risk assumes a height of 5'9". If you're taller, you could stand to gain a bit more. 5'9" seems short for an average Too many malnourished Asians were measured apparently
