Nigeria Absent In Top 20 List Of Countries With Biggest Breast

Nigeria did not reach the top 20 list of countries with the highest breast sizes in the world.

While many people believe that larger is better when it comes to breast size, new research suggests that this may not be the case.

According to World Data data on average breast size around the world, a woman’s breast size may be a good indicator of her overall health.

“The largest breasts can be found in Norway, Iceland, the United Kingdom, and the USA, the smallest in Central Africa and Southeast Asia,” World Data reported.

“Overall, it is striking that increased breast sizes often occur in countries where obesity is also a problem.”

Overweight is defined by the WHO as having a BMI more than or equal to 25, and obese as having a BMI of 30 or above.

Denmark, with a BMI of 24.6, was the only country in the top 20 with a healthy BMI.

The United States was the busiest of the bunch, at 29.0.

Explaining how body fat contributes to the cup size, World Data said; “The female breast consists to a large extent of fatty tissue and glands. The shape of the breasts also depends not only on genetic factors but also on the fat content and composition of the connective tissue,” Generally speaking, the bigger you are in body mass, the bigger your breasts are, too.

The study also discovered that women in African and Asian countries have the smallest breasts.

“There are various reasons for the striking regional distribution, especially of small sizes, in Central Africa and Southeast Asia,” World Data explains.

“On the one hand, a genetic cause is often cited. Women in these subcontinents are generally smaller and lighter. An average woman in Southeast Asia is about 1.53 m tall and weighs less than 55 kilograms. In Central Africa, women less than 1.60m and less than 60 kilograms are also daintier than the global average. This alone leads to a connection to the then logically smaller breasts with the same body proportions.”
