Waist circumference is a comprehensive index reflecting the total amount and distribution of fat. 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. Measure the midpoint of the connecting line between the anterior superior iliac crest and the lower edge of 12 rib in the horizontal position. The measuring ruler is attached to the soft tissue, but it cannot be pressed, and the measured value is accurate to 0. 1 cm. There are few mistakes in detecting obesity according to waist circumference.

Measurement method: tape measure is horizontally wound around umbilical cord 0.5 ~ 1cm, and obese people choose the thickest part of waist to measure waist circumference.

Men with waist circumference greater than or equal to 90 cm are obese, and women with waist circumference greater than or equal to 80 cm are obese.
