See how the Miss Universe pageant has evolved over 63 years
AP
UK-based superdrug.com tracked the evolution of Miss Universe winner's body types since the contest started in 1952 by gathering all of the publicly available pictures, height, and weight measurements the team could find and then comparing the data with the average height and weight of women in the US aged 20 to 29 (based on Center for Disease Control data).
"We chose to examine Miss Universe because it's such a long-standing tradition around the world," Adina Antonucci, one of the study's team members, told INSIDER in an email. "In recent years, we've seen an increase in body image awareness that has sparked important conversations about the unrealistic standards of beauty."
They found that while the average American woman has gotten heavier, Miss Universe has only gotten thinner and taller.
