For all the non-swole types lurking, a 40+ inch waist circumferences is correlated with increasing health risk, so if you're at or above that level, might want to consider making some lifestyle changes.

My height is above the average and my weight is slightly less than the average, but a waist size of 39+ is fricking fat.

31" waist here.

That average height figure is for the average American not the average white American. I would imagine the height of the average white American male is over 70 inches.

Then what race is bringing down the average since whites are 72% of the population? I don't think blacks on avg are shorter than whites. Not that many legal hispanics to bring it down.
