Waist-to-hip ratios of Jomon figurines
Antiquity, 2007The authors show that the Jomon clay figurines made by hunter-gatherers use imagery that emphasises a narrow waist and full hips, showing that a female construct was part of the symbolism of these possibly shamanistic objects.

The pelvis plays a central role in the human mating process. Sexual arousal also starts by the pelvic contours, in fact by the waist-to-hip ratio. Men determine the fitness of a female by this ratio. Added visual information of the face strengthens the pelvic sexual arousal. The waist-to-hip ratio is codetermined by buttock fat and muscles. The buttock

Anthropometric Analysis of Waist-to-Hip Ratio in Asian Women
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2008The universally accepted attractive female figure has a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 0.7 or 0.68 (WHR of the Venus de Milo). Using WHR and other parameters, the authors attempted to investigate chronologic changes in perceptions of the attractive female figure in Korean society, differences between Asian and Western societies in this respect, and ...

Commentary on cellulite: skin mechanobiology and the waist‐to‐hip ratio
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2005SummaryCellulite is a gender‐related condition which is the clinical expression of conformational changes taking place in the fibrous strands partitioning the hypodermis. The affected skin areas are those where fat deposition is under the influence of estrogens. Some hypodermal fibrous strands become enlarged and others become loose and look similar to

Maternal Waist-to-Hip Ratio as a Predictor of Newborn Size
Epidemiology, 1996Location of body fat stores, as indicated by waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR), affects a variety of metabolic processes in women, and some of these changes could affect fetal growth during pregnancy. We tested the hypothesis that WHR affects fetal growth among 702 participants of the Diana Project, a prospective study designed to identify ...

The Waist-to-Hip Ratio as an Index of Central Obesity
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1996To the Editor. —Drs Young and Gelskey 1 have offered persuasive evidence that the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), a traditional index of central obesity, is a weak predictor of metabolic risk. However, it does not necessarily follow that noncentral obesity is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. Despite its historical role in focusing attention on
