There is no accurate standard for women's waist circumference. The general waist circumference standard is calculated according to the height of each woman, and most of them within 80 cm are normal. The normal standard waist circumference measurement method is that waist circumference is equal to height divided by 2 cm to 14 cm. For example, the standard waist circumference of a woman with a height of 160 cm is equal to 160 cm divided by 2 cm and equal to 14 cm.
About 5% is the normal standard waist circumference. Waist circumference is not as small as possible, but what suits your figure best is the most standard. The waist is the part between the bottom of the chest and the pelvis. The waist circumference of a healthy person should be smaller than the hip circumference. The greater the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference, the more fat accumulated in the waist, which needs to be adjusted in time.
Fat distribution around waist circumference
Height waist circumference index = (waist circumference/height) × 100, waist-hip ratio = waist circumference/hip circumference. These two indexes are higher in men than in women, and the difference is significant. Height and hip circumference index = (hip circumference/height) × 100, height and thigh circumference index = (thigh circumference/height) × 100, and thigh length index = (thigh circumference/thigh length) × 100. These three indexes are higher for women than for men, with significant differences.
Men of the same height have thicker waistlines, while women have wider hips and thicker thighs. This is related to the gender difference in body fat distribution. Estrogen inhibits fat accumulation in upper abdomen and increases fat accumulation in buttocks and thighs? . Pear-shaped and hourglass-shaped women with thin hips and thick thighs are healthier and live longer than rectangular, apple-shaped and inverted triangular women with thin hips and thin thighs.
