I posted this in the NEWS community and people seemed intrigued, so I thought I'd post it here as well. So, crossposted from
news_jpop, and probably also
kanjani8.
Basically, I've got a fascination for the heights and weights of JE boys, and I'm assembling a big sort of database that compares the heights of everyone each group, and the groups as a whole. If anyone has stats that they think are more accurate that the ones available on dramawiki or wherever, I'd be very thankful for it!
Anyway, they're all very skinny, so I was thinking I'd try to find out what their BMIs are and I did so using
this website. It's for adults, but I think everyone is pretty much close enough.
According to the site: Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
I forgot to mention this when posting before, but it was pointed out to me - there are more factors that go into your BMI than just height and weight, so these are at best estimates, also there's a possibility that everything's different because the website was not for Asians but I don't know about that.
Arashi
Nino - 17.8
Jun - 19.5
Aiba - 19.5
Sho - 20
Ohno - 20.1
It turns out that Arashi is really close in relative height and weights, except for Nino (so tiny!). They're probably the most healthy group. (And the one with the smallest height range, except for ABC.)
( click to see info about skinny boys in other groups )I don't know if other people are as fascinated by heights and weights as I am, but I could also probably upload my whole big spreadsheet if there's interest. It's probably most useful for people who are fans of multiple groups, I'd guess, and want all the information at their fingertips. It's got birthdates, heights, weights, height and weights in order for each group, height and weight ranges, that sort of thing.
Also, um, while I'm here, I'm going to pimp my smutty, kinky Jun/Aiba/Nino fic that I just posted
here. Just in case anyone that might be interested hadn't seen it yet ;)
