Science sometimes reveals a new fact that can be perplexing, just as often as it validates what we already know to be true.
According to some recent scientific research, a 43-year-old model might have the “ideal figure.”
But everyone was taken aback by her presence. Continue reading to find out more about her!
The ideal female body type has long been thought to be that of a fashion model, which translates to being exceptionally thin.
However, prepare to be astounded.
Beauty standards are always evolving. The ideal of beauty has shifted from Marilyn Monroe’s voluptuous figure to Kate Moss’s extremely slender one.
Because of this ideal, women with an hourglass body are generally admired.
But a recent study from Texas University challenges this long-held belief.
The findings indicate that women want to have a “fuller” and “curvier” body shape.
With a bust size of 93 centimeters, a waist size of 61 centimeters, and hips that measure 87 centimeters, the data indicates that an ideal body mass index is 18.85.
The study also found that a hip-to-waist ratio of.65 to.75 is considered healthy.
For a British model called Kelly Brook, these specs are almost ideal.
According to study, she has the shape that men find most appealing, despite society’s perception of her as “plump” based on modern beauty standards.
Attractiveness, however, is essentially a subjective concept. Aesthetic tastes and what constitutes beauty vary from person to person.
The non-optimal body types are not always undesirable or unattractive, even though this study may have identified the scientifically ideal body type.
This study only shows that scientific consensus does not align with the traditional ideal of female beauty, which is thinness.
Understanding that this study illustrates the variability in our perceptions of beauty is especially pertinent in the modern era, where appreciating such diversity is highly valued.
The standards of the modeling industry dictate that plus-size women are equally beautiful as other models.
