What is the ideal waist size for a woman?
For models, the three measurements considered "standard" for beauty are 90-60-90cm, but in reality, these numbers are actually "dangerous" for women's health.
One issue that almost every woman in modern society is concerned about is being overweight. They have to figure out how to diet to stay within an acceptable BMI (Body Mass Index). (This index is obtained by dividing a person's weight by the square of their height).
But British researchers suggest there's a more effective method: measuring waist circumference. It's long been said that waist circumference (abdominal circumference) can indicate a person's lifespan, for both men and women.
Waist circumference varies depending on height, so it's impossible to give specific numbers. Ideally, waist circumference should not exceed 50% of height.
For example, if a person's waist circumference is 80% of their height, their lifespan is reduced by 17% compared to someone of the same stature.
Therefore, if a man is 1.70m tall, his ideal waist circumference should not exceed 85cm, and for a woman who is 1.60m tall, her waist circumference should not exceed 80cm. It's even said that this limit holds true for children as young as 5.
Experts recommend checking this measurement as early as possible to maintain health and adjust lifestyle to increase longevity. In general, British scientists spent 12 years observing groups of people with varying rates of height reduction and waist circumference. These results helped determine ideal figures for human health. The experiment also demonstrated that using BMI to predict lifespan is unreliable.
For models, the three measurements considered "standard" for beauty are 90-60-90cm, but in reality, these numbers are more about aesthetics than medicine, and can even be "dangerous" for women's health.
It has long been acknowledged that a woman's weight needs to be 5 to 8 kg more to be considered medically ideal. Those who are "skinny" are not considered the "standard" of beauty in medicine.
