Fat women are better able to cope with stress than their skinny Kate Moss-like counterparts, say scientists.
Boffins have found that for women, having an imperfect body may come with some substantial benefits, in terms of being physically stronger, more competitive and better able to deal with stress.
The researchers from the University of Utah found that the hormones responsible for these positive attributes also redistributes fat from the hips to the waist.
At least this means bigger women can cope with constantly seeing slim women in magazines and adverts … if skinny models were out of favour would they be able to handle the pressure?
Anthropologist Elizabeth Cashdan says ”The hormonal profile associated with high waist-to-hip ratio … may favor success in resource competition, particularly under stressful circumstances.”The androgenic effects—stamina, initiative, risk-proneness, assertiveness, dominance—should be particularly useful where a woman must depend on her own resources to support herself and her family.”
She added that her research found that women tended to be slimmer in countries like Japan, Greece and Portugal, where women tend to be less economically independent.
In countries where where there tends to be more sexual equality like Britain or Denmark she says less value is placed on a thin waist.

Antropologen Elizabeth Cashdan säger ”Den hormonella profilen förknippas med hög midja-to-hip ratio … får favor framgång i resurs konkurrens, särskilt under stressande förhållanden.
