Waist circumference (M62): The circumference passing through the horizontal circumference of the navel center or the connecting line between the lowest point of the rib and the midpoint of the top edge of the iliac crest is measured with a soft ruler and measured before inhaling at the end of expiration.
Note: The former is larger than the latter, which is what we usually call waist circumference, also called waist circumference, which is strictly defined by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and is similar to the minimum waist circumference. The thinnest part of the male waist is slightly higher than the navel, and the female waist is higher.
Waist point circumference: the waist passes through the horizontal circumference of the left and right waist nodes and is measured with a soft ruler.
Note: waist point: the midpoint between the upper edge of iliac crest and the lower edge of rib in axillary midline. On the horizontal plane, the line surrounded by waist nodes on both sides is called waist node line.
Minimum waist circumference: the horizontal circumference of the thinnest part of the waist between the rib arch and the iliac crest. Measure before inhaling at the end of expiration, and measure with a soft ruler.
