苗条作为女性美的一种理想，在大众媒体中表现得最为明显。从20世纪60年代到80年代，花花公子的插页中记录了越来越薄的标准和更管状的身体形状的趋势。本研究提供的信息，身体标准到20世纪90年代。两组模特的身体测量进行了比较：当代花花公子插页和成衣和商业印刷模型在互联网上做广告。结果显示，中间插页的人越来越瘦，其中许多人符合厌食症的体重标准。结果还显示，互联网模特的苗条程度不健康。两个队列的体型都是曲线型的，结果不支持先前的研究，表明管状体增加。讨论的重点是媒体和健康产业在促进西方文化采用不健康的身体理想方面所发挥的作用。
Thinness as an ideal of feminine beauty is nowhere more evident than in the popular media. The trend toward an increasingly thinner standard and a more tubular body shape has been documented in Playboy centerfolds from the 1960s to the 1980s. The present study provides information about body standards into the 1990s. Body measurements of two groups of models were compared: contemporary Playboy centerfolds and ready-to-wear and commercial print models advertising on the Internet. Results revealed that thinness is increasing for centerfolds, many of whom meet weight criteria for anorexia. Results also showed unhealthy levels of thinness in the Internet models. Body shape for both cohorts is curvaceous, results which do not support prior research indicating an increase in the tubular body. Discussion focuses on the role that both the media and the health industry play in contributing to Western culture's adoption of an unhealthy body ideal.
