Since the scale's development in 1983, alternative body image measurements have been created for research in this area. The line-drawn silhouettes provided in the scale may not provide a clear presentation of the average human body. As the silhouettes in the scale shift from very thin to very obese, the<unk> s gain more in the middle of the body, which may not reflect the way all bodies gain weight. Some individuals may have broader shoulders or wider hips than in the images provided in the scale; therefore, participants may have a more difficult time choosing the appropriate<unk> s to represent their physical appearances. Research has also translated this scale into computer rendered images and photographic images with real people. These three-dimensional images are able to depict a more realistic presentation of different body types.
