Models didn't get slimmer, people got fatter.

Ah inferred from the plusmodel website, as the ad doesn't attempt to explain the two facts.

Although I'm surprised that it's only 23% nowadays, the fashion industry definately moved to skinnier models (heroin sheek from the late 90's onward) and the average population weight is being dragged up by the overweight.

FYI the image was from a campaign out on by "PLUS Model Magazine".

Also women are about 30lbs heavier (on average) than they were in the the 70s. The current average weight is 168lbs.

So if the average was 138lbs and increased by 30lbs that is an increase of about 22% since the 70s.

Read your poster again.

20 years ago it was the '90s.

I would like to point out that this guy

is clinically obese according to BMI.

BMI sucks as a measure of fatness...

Romero-Corral et al. examined 13,601 subjects from the United States' Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) and found that BMI-defined obesity was present in 21% of men and 31% of women. Using body fat percentages (BF%), however, BF%-defined obesity was found in 50% of men and 62% of women.

From that paper it BMI under identified fatness by ~50%, and it is well known not to work with athletes due to their high proportion of lean body mass. Although if you go far enough past "overweight" you run into the same problems as the body just can't support the weight.

However, recent studies of American football linemen who undergo intensive weight training to increase their muscle mass show that they frequently suffer many of the same problems as people ordinarily considered obese.

Have you seen linemen in the NFL they're fat, they might be strong too but comparing RG3(I think that's who that is) to a lineman isn't quite the same. I can tell you that my physicals all come out perfectly healthy and I'm 6' even and weight in at about 240lbs BMI of ~33(obese) and I've got more fat that he does so I'm sure he is fairly healthy excluding any PED's that may or may not be involved.

Defnitely both ways, the average BMI of a model is 16, which is way underweight and frankly sickly looking, especially with their clothes off

20 years ago, runway models were extremely fucking skinny. We're not talking about the '50s here.
