Waist circumference, height (cm) ÷ 2- 13 (cm), plus or minus 5% is the normal range, and the specific waist circumference difference is subject to the actual height.
Hip circumference reflects the development of hip bones and muscles. When measuring, the legs stand upright together, the arms droop naturally, and the tape measure is placed horizontally at the most convex part of the pubic symphysis in front and the gluteus maximus in the back.
Waist circumference (WC) refers to the horizontal circumference of the waist passing through the umbilical point (om), which is a comprehensive index reflecting the total amount and distribution of fat. The measurement method recommended by the World Health Organization is that the subjects stand with their feet 25 to 30 cm apart and their weight is evenly distributed.
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; . European and American men average 98.37cm, and European and American women average 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.
