Answer The Questions

Answer the questions:
1. What triggered the ban?
After a moddle dide druing a show in South Americk.

2. What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).1, 2 BMI can be considered an alternative for direct measures of body fat. Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
3. What BMI should a model have to be allowed to participate in fashion parades in Spain?
Above 18 BMI.

4. What’s the average height, weight and BMI of a runway model?
The average height is 5’9”, the weight is 110 lbs and BMI is 16.

5. What are arguments for and against?
The arguments are for criteria of BMI and ban. Many models have complained that this ban discriminates against those who are naturally thin, so they don’t sign up.

6, check the meanings :gaunt – excessively thin and angular. Emaciated-extremely thin and weak. Wan-pallid and tired looking.

7, how can you calculate someone’s BMI?
Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters.
Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm (1.65 m)
Calculation: 68 /(1.65)2 = 24.98

In my opinion fashion show is a public activity, it has aroused people to following do something, so we need healthy moddles but moddles of gaunt, emaciated and wan,thry are not healthy.
