Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Dayana Cadeau those sources are MuscleMemory, Wikipedia and NPC Contests. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Physique benchmark
How Dayana Cadeau measures up
Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.
20.5FFMI
21.5Normalised FFMI
63rdOf 147 measured women
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Maureen Blanquisco, at 21.5, the same figure.
What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Dayana Cadeau sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.
Amateur and other shows not counted above

Legacy
Cadeau competed through the whole of the period women's bodybuilding spent shrinking, and was still finishing second at the Olympia in her forties. Very few careers in the division lasted that long.
