Waist circumference - محيط_الوسط


Waist circumference is the easiest way to estimate internal body fat.



Many methods have been tried to estimate haw fat is accumulated internally in the abdomen. One of the easiest ways is to use the “Measuring tape”, using the waist line as the landmark.

Waist circumference is the transverse measuring of the body at the level of mid abdomen. To correctly measure waist circumference:

  • Stand and place the measuring tape around your middle, just above your hipbones
  • Make sure tape is horizontal around the waist
  • Keep the tape just around the waist, but not compressing the skin
  • Measure your waist just after you breathe out


 Health Cutoffs for the waist circumference are:

  • Less than 94 cm (in men) or 80 cm (in women): there is no risk
  • 94  to 102 cm (in men) or 80 to 88 cm (in women): increased risk
  • Above 102 cm (in men) or 88 cm (in women): Very high risk

An increase in the internal body fat (abdominal obesity, central Obesity) is associated with many chronic diseases, as cardiac, Diabetes mellitus type 2  and fatty liver, in addition to an increase in the risk of  gallbladder stones, Polycystic ovaries and breast cancer in women.

Abdominal internal fat (Visceral Fat) is not reached by liposuction or plastic surgeries. You can only get rid of that visceral fat through your own body cells consuming and burning those excess stores, through an appropriate diet and regular physical exercise.

With my sincerest wishes for health and wellness.
