Bones so frail it would be impossible to walk and room for only half a liver: Shocking research reveals what life would be like if a REAL woman had Barbie's body

If Barbie was a real woman she'd be forced to walk on all fours and would be physically incapable of lifting her over-sized head - perhaps a far cry from what the designers of Mattel envisioned.



A disturbing chart that converts the doll's body scale into a real-life human being's reveals the outrageous proportions that transforms her into something out of a Sci-Fi movie.



Starting from the top down, Barbie's head would be two inches larger than the average American woman's while resting on a neck twice as long and six inches thinner.



From these measurements she'd be entirely incapable of lifting her head.

Mutant: The above picture shows how if Barbie's physical measurements were given to a real woman she'd only have room for half a liver and a few inches of intestine in her body, but room for a bigger brain

Her 16-inch waist would also be four inches thinner than her head, leaving room for only half a liver and a few inches of intestine.



Like her fragile 3.5 inch wrists, her 6-inch ankles would prevent her from heavy lifting. Then, as far as holding up her entire body - despite so much of it missing - it'd be an entirely impossible feat requiring her to walk on all fours.

That method of mobility is further supported, strictly theoretically, by her children's size three feet.



The graphs released by Rehabs.com , a site for locating mental health treatment centers in the U.S., aims to point out the outrageous physical characteristics of a doll seen for more than 50 years as a role model for girls.

'That would be one dope 21st birthday!' The Barbie collector demanded her 'own Barbie BUT with my actual body type' including cellulite since '95% of ALL women have it!'

What are the odds? Among the above chart's findings, it tells how the odds of finding a single woman with the same tall and thin neck as Barbie is one out of 4.3 billion

One of a kind: Mattel previously defended Barbie's slim figure because of the bulk her clothes' seams, snaps and zippers add

In addition to comparing Barbie's body proportions to the average American woman's, it also compares them to the average anorexic woman.

Further stressing Barbie's one-of-a-kind body, while considering the sizes of both average American women and anorexic women, Rehabs.com found the odds of finding a single woman with the same naturally tall and thin neck like Barbie is one out of 4.3 billion.

Similarly finding a woman with Barbie's waist would be one out of every 2.4 billion.

Men are not left out from their comparison though, with awareness paid to the physical proportions of Ken dolls, said to be generally closer to a reality than Barbie's.



Barbie's size has long been controversial with Mattel previously defending her slim figure because of the bulk her clothes' seams, snaps and zippers added.

In 1998 the dolls' waist was expanded and bust made smaller, said to reflect a more 'real' female body type.
