i'm doing a project for school explaining how models are too thin, and portray a bad image for women.
i need to know the average bmi for a runway model for a given height and weight, and the same for an average woman today.
thank you =]

Models, I would guess, are around 110 lbs and 5'10 maybe. Average BMI would be somewhere between 15 - 16.5, which is very underweight.
The average healthy woman is probably around 130 lbs at 5'5. Healthy BMI, 20-24. Average BMI, probably would be in the late 20's.

A healthy BMI (a calculation based on height and weight)
is between 18.5 and 25
The Spanish Association of Fashion Designers has decided to ban models who have a BMI of less than 18.
The concern over the Spanish ban, which demands models have a BMI above 18 to participate in shows, spread to the United Kingdom, where there is now questioned whether the British Council might put a similar rule in place before the upcoming London Fashion Week.
Here are the bmi's of some famous models:
Claudia Schiffer
BMI: 17.7
Kate Moss
BMI: 16.1
Erin O'Connor
BMI: 16.5
Gisele Bundchen
BMI: 16
Naomi Campbell
BMI: 16.5
as you can see are well below the healthy bmi range.
Estimating that the average runway model bmi is 16.5
To give you an indication of healthy runway models here is a list of some and their bmi's
Safe models with a BMI more than 18
Elise Crombez
BMI: 20.1
Cindy Crawford
BMI: 19.2
Kate Dillon
BMI: 23.7
Jen Hunter
BMI: 21.8
I hope that helped :)

I have been losing weight my whole life with my heaviest being 360 lbs. I lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks. And even after losing most of my weight on a basic starvation diet and knee crippling exercise I knew this was the answer. I have never been below 25% BF. I have never looked as healthy as I do. I have never had the confidence that I have now. I have never felt as good as I feel.

listen fatty (lol),
if a model is naturally 75 pounds and eats 2500 calories a day then it is completely okay and people like you are the reason why some girls are over eatting to be "curvier" because people like you think anyone thats skinny is anorexic. nowadays they wont even LET you be a model unless you have a BMI over 18 whether thats possible for you or not! What is happening to this world!!!
