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.

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.

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 ...

Independent Association of Hip Circumference with Metabolic Profile in Different Ethnic Groups
Obesity, 2004AbstractObjective: In whites, a larger hip circumference has been shown to be associated with a better metabolic profile, after adjustment for BMI and waist circumference. Our aim was to investigate this association in a variety of ethnic groups, some highly susceptible to type 2 diabetes.Research Methods and Procedures: We measured weight, height ...

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.

Macronutrients Association with Change in Waist and Hip Circumference Over 9 Years
Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2016The calorie distribution of macronutrients affects individuals' health. Quantity and source of macronutrients may play major roles in waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC). This study's purpose is to investigate the association between the quantity and source of macronutrients and the change in WC and HC over 9 years.Participants (N = 11 ...

Hip circumference is associated with the risk of premenopausal ER−/PR− breast cancer
International Journal of Obesity, 2011We evaluated the relationship between hip and waist circumferences (HCs, WCs), waist-to-hip ratio, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) and breast cancer risk according to menopausal status of women and cancer hormone receptor status.We used data from the French E3N longitudinal prospective cohort.In the total population of 63 726 women who were ...
