What are the health risks of being a size 0 model? (school project) and the benefits? xxx {no silly answers!}?

risks - apart from the eating disorders, total shutdown of organs, danger of osteoperosis, looking a skeletal mess and wrecking your body from the inside out? not many. the benefits...i cant think of many to be honest. maybe a feeling of self acceptance or feeling that you're as good as the size 0 models. there are no real health benefits, unless you count not being obese as one.

Malnutrition
bone problems

Mal-nutrition, organ failure, eating disorders, and as for the benefits there are none.

There would be no health benefits assuming that no one is naturally a size zero. The benefits are purely superficial.

Risks - oesteoperosis, malnutrition, organ failure, weak bones and muscles, poor hair and nail condition.

I can only think of one benefit and that would be that you might have more work than other models. Otherwise, risks include bone loss, heart abnormalities, electrolyte imbalance and death.

You will get no attention from me, as I like 'em big. :)

Being underweight is never a good idea is you care about long-term health.

no disadvantages, the benefit is that you look super hot, as long as u r pretty of course.

The benefits would be that you got work, didn't get shouted at and abused by the agencies, designers and photographers.
Health risks.....its a very short step from keeping yourself as a size 0 and becoming a full blown anorexic....damage to all major organs, skeletal damage, loss of energy/stamina etc leading to being unable to do the job you've starved yourself to do!

Pros- You can still shop in the kids section at k-mart; your grocery bill is really nothing cause you live off of toothpaste and celery.

con's - You can't sit in the front seat of a car with airbags cause you have to weigh over 100lbs

Your body is basically rotting from the inside out because it is starved of all of its vital nutrients.

Heart diesease

Your bones age like an 88 year old women for not feeding your body adequetly.

Most likely pre-mature death.

i couldnt imagine there is no benefits to being a size 0 anyways!

you are looking at alot of health problems if you are that size!

cessation of periods in girls
osetoporosis
loss of muscle-inlc. heart leading to heart failure later in life
extreme mood swings
depression
light covering of hair over all of body
weak nails and bones
loss of hair- v.thin,
BMI of under 17.5
they will have the condition anorexia nervosa( or bulimia)
extreme dieting and excercise
mind set on them being 'fat', they ignore the fact they are ill
lots more, go to wikipedia and type in anorexia nervosa and it will come up with loads!! hope this helps
good luck xx
