→The most attractive BMI range for men is ~24.5-27 and for women ~17-19 as it is most youthful

Caveats for this data would be that they were unable to get clear data on outcomes for men BMI <18 likely due to low sample of men at this low a weight, range of variation for outcomes in men became quite large above BMI 32-34 (perhaps because this range would include both aggressive bodybuilders and severely obese men), and although this data was part of their original 2006 analysis, they chose not to include it in their final publication later in 2010. | Caveats for this data would be that they were unable to get clear data on outcomes for men BMI <18 likely due to low sample of men at this low a weight, range of variation for outcomes in men became quite large above BMI 32-34 (perhaps because this range would include both aggressive bodybuilders and severely obese men), and although this data was part of their original 2006 analysis, they chose not to include it in their final publication later in 2010. | ||
Other studies have shown similar outcomes. One study assessing the most attractive female BMI involved showing people 21 pictures of women of varying mass, and asking them to order them in attractiveness. Both men and women rated these women's pictures the same way, and both genders suggested the very thinnest women provided at a BMI of 19 were most attractive. Raters suggested they felt the thinnest pictures were also the most youthful looking. Further modeling from this data to incorporate age biases suggested the ideal female BMI would be therefore somewhere between 17-20, as it would correspond to the average BMI of a young 18-20 year old with maximal fertility and minimal risk of future disease. | Other studies however have shown similar outcomes.

Another study to assess most attractive BMI for each gender used computer generated simulation of men and women, rated in attractiveness by both men and women. The most attractive BMI for men was suggested by men to be 25.9 and by women to be 24.5. The most attractive BMI for women was suggested by both men and women to be exactly the same at 18.8. | Another study to assess most attractive BMI for each gender used computer generated simulation of men and women, rated in attractiveness by both men and women.
