Body mass index

Looking through p.h i notice there isnt many if any “overweight people”.

So im wondering if a few members can fill out this and post result. Might give us a rough idea at a common trait.
I say rough because i know these things are not 100% accurate. Try to fill it out, if you remember the numbers before your crash from finasteride.

Thanks

[Size=4]If at 50th percentile, you are close to average weight.
At 90th percentile, your weight is greater than 90% of others.
At 20th percentile, then 80% of others weigh more than you.

I was also always thinking about why most of us are not overweight. Most the other PFS sufferers I met in Kos (9 persons) were normal weight (thin and sporty).

Keep up bmi is different than the percentile listed in other users posts. Can you list the percentile for an apples to apples comparison?

I’m 47th percentile, but my body fat % is only 8%. BMI isn’t a great indicator of health - you can be thin and very out of shape. Men taking propecia are likely to be more focused on their appearance than other men, causing the subset of men who take propecia vs. those who do not to be men who generally take better care of their bodies (i.e. not be overweight).
