Waist size
Waist size is a health risk indicator associated with excess abdominal fat. Excess abdominal fat is associated with health problems such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension.
Waist circumference is measured at the narrowest part of the torso, located midway between the lower part of the ribs (at the bottom of the last rib) and the iliac crest (the top of the pelvic bone). You should stand with your feet about 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) apart. The person taking your measurement should be sitting next to you. The tape measure should be snug, but not too tight. Waist circumference should be measured at the end of a normal exhalation.
Waist circumference thresholds | Risk of developing health problems |
|---|---|
Women >= 88cm (35 in) | Increased |
Men >= 102cm (40 in) | lesser |
