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. thigh circumference
Qualified value: 46 cm ~60 cm
Measurement method: Use a soft ruler to level tightly around the top position of the thigh root, and make accurate measurement under the hip curve.
Generally, there is no unified health index for the size of thigh root and calf. If it is unified with the overall body shape, the thigh root is thicker than the thigh.
The length of the thigh circumference may be proportional to the net weight of the heart. The denser the thigh root, the lighter the heart weight. Scientific research also found that if the thigh circumference is too thick, the probability of obesity will increase. Therefore, the researchers came up with a reference suggestion-the ideal thigh circumference should be 60 cm, not less than 46 cm.
