2. Waist circumference = height X0.34 (for example, the standard waist circumference of height 160cm = 166cmX0.34=56.44cm).
3. Hip circumference = height X0.542 (for example, the standard hip circumference of height 160cm = 166cmX0.542=89.98cm).
Professional female models are measured differently. Due to professional needs, their measurement standards have a certain gap with the normal standards. According to the national characteristics of our country, the standard of measurements is generally chest circumference of 84cm, waist circumference of 6 1cm and hip circumference of 90cm.
Fat distribution
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.
In other words, men of the same height have thicker waists, while women have wider hips and thicker thighs. This is related to the gender difference in body fat distribution. Estrogen inhibits fat accumulation in the upper abdomen and increases fat accumulation in the 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. Pear-shaped and hourglass-shaped women and their offspring have higher cognitive ability, and the fat stored in buttocks and thighs contains omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA) which is indispensable for fetal brain development.
