Female Waist to Hip Ratio
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is the ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. The ideal ratio for women is considered to be about 0.7. A WHR of 0.7 in women correlate with good general health and fertility, optimal levels of estrogen, and less susceptibility to major diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and ovarian cancers. Women with a 0.7 WHR are rated as more attractive by men from European cultures.
