As we suspected, the measurements of the Mattel Barbie doll are inapplicable to a human. English site rehabs.co decided to look into the matter by comparing Barbie’s body to that of an average American. This study is part of a report on eating disorders and young girls’ problems with their image. The verdict is final: if Barbie were in the flesh, she would be in very poor health.
Her neck is much too long and six inches thinner than that of a normal woman. Without this support, his head falls to the side. With a size of 40 cm, impossible to accommodate all the organs. Goodbye to the stomach and much of the intestine. Her waist is also too thin since it only represents 56% of the hips. Her legs are unusually long and far too thin.
As a result, with 15 cm ankles, the same size as a three-year-old’s foot, she would not stand up. It is therefore impossible to walk, nor even to support yourself with your hands, because wrists of 7.6 cm are not enough to carry your body.
If Barbie were alive, then she would be constantly lying down, and could not survive for long because of her organ problems.
