There was something about the above body chart that bothered me and I finally figured out what it is. The chart takes an AVERAGE of adult women over the age of 20 and condenses them down. Problem is that we (in the US and the world in general) are culturally and genetically diverse in population. And as any high school student can attest, except for those on the low end of the spectrum, grading on a curve will generally bring DOWN the class average. At the very least it will throw the average off. US citizens tend to be fatter, but taller. But we have a lot of immigrants coming to this country and some of them are shorter, leaner, whatever. It's going to throw off the average.
