Hi everyone,

Again im after info so see what you have got

Im interested in looking into waist circumference in a bit more detail so has anyone got any recent articles or a recommended site that i coul use.

Current problems are to get the correct waist circumference seems so hard in obese individuals due to the fat around the abdominal area.

Seen a suggestion for obviously using the umbilical cord if unable to find the bony landmarks but guess what the umbilical cord in most obese individuals is very low down due to the weight of the stomach making it drop.

Any ideas guys,

let me know what you find and what you believe to be the correct guide to measure. I've stopped and most people have stopped waist to hip and just do waist. what about you!!!

Any info would be good but im after researched based evidence if possible!!!!

Take it easy :cool3:
 
I'm not gonna research it for you.. you've got pubmed.com for that. I'd just go with measuring at the belly button, though.
 
There shouldn't be much of a difference either way. You hip measurment should be bigger but that's really it. It's just an indicator of success, so as long as the measurment is consistantly on the same spot, then it doesn't matter.
