The UK's average body measurements

We’ve been busy at Factory Weights, we recently commissioned a survey that asked 1,000 men and 1,000 women to estimate 11 key body measurements. We’re not just mad for stats though, we thought we’d get some insight into how people perceive themselves and others and what they think the average man or woman looks like. What we found was pretty interesting and further reinforced the idea that men know little about realistic body expectations. It was found that men underestimated the average female body by an average of 38%, whilst women underestimated their own bodies by 16%.  Perhaps most disappointing was their judgement of the average female weight, which they pinned at 61kg – a whole 13% under the true average of 70kg. In fact, men underestimated every single measurement apart from 2 – height and chest size. Sounds about
