Yeah I know the sample size may well be nonrandom that way, we need measurements from everyone in the entire country right away

A curious note to point out: Waist to Height Ratio seems to be a better predictor of health than BMI, since healthy Africans have more body fat than similarly healthy Europeans. Also, factors of SES and sociosexuality should be considered, as those are more likely tied to nurturance and virility.
