When measuring the calf circumference (calf circumference), the subjects' legs should be shoulder-width apart, and the tester should measure the circumference of the thickest part of the calf horizontally with a tape measure in centimeters (cm), accurate to one decimal place, and the measurement error should not exceed 0.5cm.
Leg circumference is related to your height. Generally, the leg circumference of the calf is about 20% of the height.
Standard for healthy legs 1:
The thickness difference between calf and ankle is about 15 cm.
Standard for healthy legs 2:
Thigh: height (cm)×0.26+7.8.
Lower leg: height (cm) × 0.18; The calf ratio is about 17%-2 1% of the height, which is normal.
Ankle: calf (cm)×0.59.
Ideal standard circumference of beautiful legs (measure the circumference of the thickest part of the leg)
Ideal thigh size = height x(0.29 to 0.3) cm
Ideal size of calf = height x(0.2 to 0.2 1) cm.
Ideal ankle size = height x0. 1 18cm.
Extended data
Relevant data show that when the leg circumference is below 60cm, the leg circumference is negatively correlated with cardiovascular morbidity and total mortality. In other words, the thinner the thigh, the shorter the life span. However, don't ignore the premise that the leg circumference is limited to 60cm. More than 60cm, the thicker the legs, there is no benefit.
In fact, being too fat and too thin can easily lead to short life. Many studies have shown that lower limb weakness has a certain relationship with the onset of type 2 diabetes. If you are pear shape, that is, the upper body is thinner than the lower body, you may not be as terrible as the obese figure mentioned later-the well-known apple-shaped figure, with the same body mass index, is more dangerous than the pear-shaped shape with thick belly and thighs.
