Combined Influence of Waist and Hip Circumference on Risk of Death in a Large Cohort of European and Australian Adults [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Waist circumference and hip circumference are both strongly associated with risk of death; however, their joint association has rarely been investigated.

The value of hip circumference/heightx ratio for identifying childhood hypertension. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractTo investigate the value of hip circumference related indexes for identifying childhood hypertension. In 2011, 1,352 Han children aged 7–12 years were recruited in our study. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure ≥95th percentile for all three screenings.

Correlation of ultrasound measured testicular volume with waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio and conicity index in Nigerian adults [PDF]
Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2018 Background: Accurate testicular volume measurement is one way to assess testicular function. Some obese males exhibit altered levels of circulating sex steroids; decreased levels of total testosterone (T) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and ...

The influence of hip circumference on the relationship between abdominal obesity and mortality [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2012 Higher waist circumference and lower hip circumference are both associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, despite being directly correlated. The real effects of visceral obesity may therefore be underestimated when hip circumference is not fully taken into account.

Genetic Predisposition of Both Waist Circumference and Hip Circumference Increased the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism. [PDF]
Thromb Haemost, 2023 Background Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is an independent indicator of increased cardiovascular risk. Observational studies have shown an observational association between obesity and venous thromboembolism (VTE). As a type of VTE, pulmonary embolism (PE) is also associated with obesity.

Waist circumference, body mass index, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio as predictors of cardiovascular disease in Aboriginal people [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2004 To investigate waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio, hip circumference and body mass index (BMI) as risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Aboriginal Australians.This cohort study included 836 adults aged 20-74 y in a remote Aboriginal community. WC, waist-hip ratio, hip circumference and BMI were obtained from a screening program.

Are age references for waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio in Dutch children useful in clinical practice? [PDF]
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2005 The aim of this study was to present age references for waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and waist/hip ratio (WHR) in Dutch children. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 14,500 children of Dutch origin in the age range 0-21 years. National references were constructed with the LMS method.

Associations of hip and thigh circumferences independent of waist circumference with the incidence of type 2 diabetes: the Hoorn Study [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003 The higher risk of type 2 diabetes in persons with a high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) or waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) has mostly been attributed to increased visceral fat accumulation. However, smaller hip or thigh circumference may also explain the predictive value of the WHR or WTR for type 2 diabetes.This study considered prospectively the association of

Hip Circumference and Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Men and Women [PDF]
Obesity, 2004 AbstractObjective: It has recently been demonstrated that, in middle‐aged women, a wide hip circumference is a protective factor for a number of health endpoints in later years. The effect seems to be independent of both overweight and waist circumference.

Larger Hip Circumference Independently Predicts Health and Longevity in a Swedish Female Cohort [PDF]
Obesity, 2001 AbstractObjective: The waist circumference is widely viewed as a simple but effective measure for assessing obesity‐related health risks, whereas measurement of the hip circumference is not currently prioritized. This study examines health risks associated specifically with hip circumference in a cohort of Swedish women, to determine whether ...
