I don't believe this. As the average, 140 probably, 150 maybe.

It confuses me why they only publish averages.

I get that a lot of people don't understand median, but it seems much more useful to know


Thought the same when I read the article. Given a population of 300+ million, it's also possible the average and median are basically the same.

No way.

The female overweight & obesity rate in the US in 58.8% according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, so the 170 average seems believable.

Food in this country is over processed and filled with sugar. People will only get fatter. I’ve invested heavily in healthcare stocks. Fat unhealthy fricks make me money.

The lower limit is stagnant where the upper limit is crazy high.

I felt bad when I hit 160. I'm back under 150 now so everything's alright.

No way the avg height for a US man is 5’9.

It absolutely is. But I will say this, men are fricking hilarious when it comes to judging height


Every 5'9" man says he is 5'11"

So that is likely why it doesnt seem right to you

If 5"9" is the average, and he is 5"10", then he isnt short.....
