The measurement method recommended by the World Health Organization is that the subjects stand with their feet 25 to 30 cm apart and their weight is evenly distributed. Put the tape measure between the upper hip and the lower chest. At this time, don't inhale too much, don't breathe too much, keep a normal breathing state, and measure it at the close-fitting clothes, which is more accurate.

Different from women, obesity is mainly subcutaneous fat, and most of the fat that plagues men is concentrated in the abdomen. Therefore, in addition to being obese, obese men have a high proportion of medium height.

The correct way to measure waist circumference:

Spare material: tape measure.

1, take off or pull up your coat, take off your clothes or pull them up to your chest. In order to get accurate measurement results, you need to take off the multi-layer clothes that block your waist.

2. Find your waist. Find the position below the chest and above the buttocks with your fingers. Your waist is where there is meat between two bones. This is also the narrowest part of your body.

3. Start measuring, stand up straight and exhale slowly, put the end of the tape measure on your navel and wrap it around your waist. The tape measure should be parallel to the floor and tightly attached to the waist, so as not to stab the body. Look at the 0 on the tape measure and the place where the tape measure ends around the waist. The intersection point is the position of your waist.
