An article from the Daily Mail discusses the malnourishment of Miss Universe contestant Stephanie Naumoska. 19 years old and measuring just 31-25-35. She is the perfect height for a model, coming in at 5'10''. All though her BMI is 15.1 according to the World Health Organisation that means she is malnourished. Her BMI is suppose to be between 18.5 and 24.9 to fall into an average category.
has a Body Mass Index of 15.1 - and that, by World Health Organisation standards, means she is malnourished. Her BMI should be between 18.5 and 24.9 to fall into the 'average' category.

When the pageant organisers asked why they allowed Stephanie to participate in the pageant they explained that her ribs and pelvic bones protruding alarmingly have to do with her heritage, she's Macedonian. A spectator at the event said she is so thin if you didn't look close enough it's possible to miss her.

Dietitians urged her to seek medial attention because she is dangerously underweight. Health expert Melanie McGrice said Miss Naumoska needed urgent blood tests, diet analysis and a general body assessment. The Australian Medical Association called on pageant organisers to impose a minimum Body Mass Index of 20.
Miss Naumoska was beaten in the final by 21-year-old TV presenter and model Rachel Finch, who at 5ft 9in and measuring 34-24-34 appeared to have just a little more flesh than her skinny rival.
