Real BMI must be even lower when you subtract all the silicone they are carrying around. Still, the playmates are likely to have a more narrow bone structure than average women so they can have a slightly lower BMI without looking starved.

That also got my attention: "2007 More than 347,000 cosmetic breast augmentations are performed in the US."

The other part of the comparison causes me much more concern. The average BMI of the young American woman has gone up DRAMATICALLY since the 1960s. Bad news for their future health.

This is supposed to be a more correct graph of the playmate data:

Here the low point was reached around 1985 with a slight increase since then. This increase may not be real but be due to increasing use of implants which will somewhat increase body weight without affecting real BMI.
