It's between 18 and 25.
Pretty sick that the USA and BRITAIN won't follow what the modeling agencies in Spain and Italy did in banning models who didn't fall into that range for working for them.
They just go on and promote this sickness that is destroying girls and women in our society. It's time someone took a stand and I don't know why you men put up with it either. You really want to spend a lifetime with a woman like that to influence your children?
Here is where you an calculate your BMI index for yourself:

Between 18% and 32% body fat for the average woman. Less than 18% for athletes. Over 32% is overfat.
BMI should be between 18.5 and 24.9, but body fat percentage is a better indicator of health.
