Recently, a woman in Guangdong Province has become the focus of online discussion due to her extreme body proportions. According to reports, this woman is 1.6 meters tall, but weighs only 50 catties (about 23 kilograms). Even so, she still stated that she is continuing to control her weight and pursue a skinnier state. This news quickly spread on social media, sparking in-depth discussions among the public on health, aesthetic standards, and weight loss concepts.
In the interview, the woman expressed that she personally likes her current body shape very much, believing that it does not impact her daily life. However, her remarks immediately sparked widespread controversy. Some netizens expressed deep concerns, fearing that she may suffer from anorexia or other forms of eating disorders, urging her to pay attention to her physical health and seek medical help promptly. Other netizens believe that everyone should have the right to choose their own way of life, as long as she feels good and does not harm others’ interests, she should be respected.
Faced with this incident, nutrition and medical experts have come forward, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy weight. Experts point out that excessively low weight can lead to a series of health issues, including malnutrition, weakened immunity, reduced bone density, menstrual irregularities, and potential mental health problems. They unanimously agree that a healthy weight should be assessed comprehensively based on individual factors such as body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, body fat percentage, rather than solely pursuing thinness based on numbers.
