Background and Aims Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a reproductive problem of women with high prevalence cases accompanied by obesity conditions. Obesity condition can be seen from the size of waist circumference, hip circumference, arm span, and waist-to-hip ratio.

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.

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.

Waist and Hip Circumferences and All-Cause Mortality: Usefulness of the Waist-to-Hip Ratio? [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity, 2004 To investigate whether waist and hip circumferences, in addition to body mass index (BMI), are related to all-cause mortality. We studied these associations and tested the usefulness of the waist-to-hip ratio for mortality prediction.A Danish prospective cohort study with data collected between 1993 and 1997.A total of 27 179 men and 29 875 women born ...

Obesity Reviews, 2013 Both a larger waist and narrow hips are associated with heightened risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and premature mortality. We review the risk of these outcomes for levels of waist and hip circumferences when terms for both anthropometric ...

Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, 2018
Body mass index (BMI) corrects body weight for height and is well established for diagnosing overweight and obesity and correlating with many medical conditions. Waist circumference (WC) is used to diagnose abdominal obesity. However, the correlation of BMI and WC is high, around 0.9, making the use of BMI and WC in concert challenging.

Validity of Self-Reported Waist and Hip Circumferences in Men and Women
Epidemiology, 1990Recent epidemiologic evidence indicates an association between fat distribution and many diseases. To assess the validity of circumference measurements obtained by self-report, the authors analyzed data from 123 men aged 40-75 years and 140 women aged 41-65 years, drawn from two large ongoing prospective studies. On mailed questionnaires, subjects were

Macronutrients and Waist Circumference Compared to Hip Circumference
2014Introduction: A large waist circumference (WC) has more detrimental health outcomes than a large hip circumference (HC). Macronutrient calorie distribution affects the health of individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the sources and quantity of macronutrients affect WC and HC.

The contribution of obesity to the occurrence of cardiovascular events may not be wholly related to its influence on traditional risk factors. Coagulation and fibrinolysis may also influence cardiovascular risk, but the relationship of adiposity with these processes is unclear.

Estimating Waist and Hip Circumference from Routine Clinical DXA
Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2020Waist circumference and waist:hip ratio have body mass index-independent detrimental effects on health and mortality. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans of the lumbar spine and hip can provide site-specific measures of soft-tissue thickness, and we hypothesized that this could be used to opportunistically estimate body circumference in ...
