What is the average BMI worldwide?
The global average BMI is approximately 24.5 — just inside the 'normal weight' range (18.5–25). However, averages mask enormous regional variation: Nauru and the Pacific Islands have some of the highest mean BMIs globally (~34), while countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh average around 21.
