Todd is the most typical of American men. His proportions are based on averages from CDC anthropometric data. As a U.S. male age 30 to 39, his body mass index (BMI) is 29; just one shy of the medical definition of obese.

Sedentary lifestyles also mean that a BMI of 29 today probably has more fat than a BMI of 29 from 20 years ago. Even at the same BMI we are getting fatter.
