What is the normal circumference of thigh?

Taking China people as an example, the standard of normal thigh circumference (male/female) is as follows:

Height and thigh circumference index = (thigh circumference/height) × 100, thigh length index = (thigh circumference/thigh length) ×100;

These two indexes are higher for women than for men, with significant differences; In other words, women's legs are relatively thick and short, and men are relatively slender; This is related to the gender difference in body fat distribution. Estrogen inhibits abdominal fat accumulation and increases hip and thigh fat accumulation, while androgen is just the opposite.

Measurement method of thigh circumference:

The subjects' legs were shoulder-width apart and their weight was shared equally. The measurer puts the tape measure behind the hip and measures the circumference of the thigh horizontally, which is the thigh circumference. Comparing the measured girth values of the left and right thighs, we can see whether the muscles of the left and right thighs develop evenly.

Extended data:

Several key points of thigh circumference standard;

Key points 1: When looking at the leg from the front, the ratio of the widest position of thigh, calf and ankle should be 5:3:2. According to this ratio, the ideal leg shape should be: the widest thigh (45-50cm), the widest calf (28-33cm) and the widest ankle (10-20cm).

Point 2: Morphologically speaking, when the legs are upright and closed naturally, it is the most ideal state that the thigh root, knee, calf and ankle of the leg can contact each other.

The third point: in terms of leg length, when looking at the leg from the side, the length ratio from the bottom smile line to the knee and then from the knee to the sole of the foot should be 3:5, which looks the most beautiful.

The fourth point: Of course, a pair of perfect legs should not only have the best proportion, but also be symmetrical as a whole, and at the same time have firm and elastic skin and a moist and smooth texture.
