Waist circumference can be an important health indicator. Experts believe a higher waist circumference is linked to a greater risk of certain health conditions. Men with a waist circumferencehigher than 40 inches(101.6 cm) and non-pregnant women with a waist circumference higher than 35 inches (88...
waist circumference Acronyms A measurement that has been shown to be a valid index identifying people who need weight management if they are to avoid a significant risk of heart attacks. Waist circumferences of more than 94 cm in men and more than 80 cm in women indicate danger. ...
Circumference around the bare abdomen, just above the hip bone (parallel to the floor, exhaled); excess weight, as measured by BMI, is not the only risk to health but the location of fat. Fat mainly around the waist is more likely to cause health problems than if localised mainly in hip...
Waist circumference (WC), calf circumference (CC), and body mass index (BMI) have been independently linked to mortality. However, it's not yet clear how the waist-calf circumference ratio (WCR) relates to mortality. This study aims to investigate the relationship between WCR, WC, CC, and...

Socioeconomic deprivation and waist circumference were measured in three Scottish MONICA cross-sectional surveys of 2233 men and 2516 women aged 25-64 years in 1989-1995. Means of waist circumference, waist/hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) increased with level of deprivation (measured ...
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the RPWC (men 90 cm, women 98 cm), (determined in this African cohort when adding GHQ-28 caseness as a discriminatory variable between WC cut-point), distinguished better between WC groups based on their perception of own health than the JSC cut-point....
In women, the cutoff point value is 91.0 cm for the WC. Receiver operating characteristic curve for WHtR was also obtained and the cutoff point value of 0.579 in men, and in women the cutoff point value was 0.587. A high sensitivity and specificity were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: This study ...
