What's the difference between hip circumference and waist circumference?

The standard is that the bust is about equal to the hip circumference, and the waist circumference is about 23cm smaller than the bust or hip circumference.

The measurements of oriental women are generally as follows:

Standard bust = 1/2+2 to 4cm height;

Standard waist circumference = (height-100 cm) 3 cm;

Standard hip circumference = waist circumference+(20-30) cm;

Taking a woman with a height of 165cm and a weight of 50kg as an example, the standard measurements should be: bust =84cm waist =6 1cm hip = about =86cm.

Extended data:

waistline

Waist circumference: the average Asian male is 73.35cm and the average Asian female is 65.79cm;; European and American men average 83.99cm, and European and American women average 72.55cm? .

Height waist circumference index = (waist circumference/height) × 100: the average for Asian men is 42.79, and the average for Asian women is 41.34; The average male in Europe and America is 47.84, and the average female in Europe and America is 44.53.

It can be seen that the average waist circumference of men is obviously larger than that of women, and the average (waist circumference/height) × 100 is larger than that of women. In other words, women's waist is thinner.

Hip line

Hip circumference: Asian males average 88.82cm, and Asian females average 91.66 cm; . The average size of men in Europe and America is 98.37cm, and that of women in Europe and America is 96.69cm.

Height and hip circumference index = (hip circumference/height) × 100: the average of Asian males is 52.07, and that of Asian females is 57.78; The average male in Europe and America is 56.03, and the average female in Europe and America is 59.34.

It can be seen that the average hip circumference of men and women is almost the same, and the average (hip circumference/height) × 100 is obviously larger for women than for men. In other words, women's hips are relatively larger.

waist hip ratio

Waist-to-hip ratio = waist circumference/hip circumference: the average Asian male is 0.8 1, and the average Asian female is 0.73; European and American men average 0.85, and European and American women average 0.75.

It can be seen that the average waist-hip ratio of men is obviously greater than that of women, and the gender difference is obvious.
