Paragraphe
Paragraph text
According to WHO, a body mass index under 16 represents severe thinness. Setting minimum standards of weight for fashion models in line with health guidance via national legislation and policies and/or regulations by modelling agencies as well as advertising campaigns embracing the diversity of female forms are good practices. The development of new models of dolls with body proportions corresponding to those of healthy women is another.
