Waist-to-hip ratio, attractiveness and gender discrimination

It ishypothesized that women with lower waist-to-hip ratio provide better energy for pregnancy and lactation; therefore in the course of evolution men ...

Seasonality, waist-to-hip ratio, and salivary testosterone [PDF]
Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2006 Patterns of seasonal variation in testosterone (T) and T-dependent measures are poorly understood in humans and particularly in women, despite their importance in other animals. We examined seasonal fluctuations in salivary T in women and men, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in women.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Breast Cancer Mortality [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2003 High insulin levels have been associated with increased risk of breast cancer and poorer survival after a breast cancer diagnosis. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a marker for insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that elevated WHR is directly related to breast cancer mortality.

Waist‐to‐Hip Ratio Sensitivity in Early Infancy
Infant and Child Development, 2020 AbstractThe waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) is correlated with health and associated with sex, attractiveness, and age judgments by adults. We examined the development of sensitivity to the WHR by testing 3.5‐month‐old infants' (N = 71) preference between images depicting different WHRs. Female 3.5‐month‐olds exhibited a preference for the WHR associated with
