Waist-hip ratio

The waist circumference will be measured by finding the right ilium and marking the site at the mid-axillary plane (CDC, 2007). Using measuring tape, one will measure the circumference from the right ilium around to the left ilium. The tape will remain parallel to the floor, and it will not compress the skin. The waist-hip ratio will be calculated by taking the value from the waist circumference measurement and dividing it by the measurement of the hip circumference. The hip circumference will be measured twice by using measuring tape around the largest circumference of the buttocks while maintaining the tape parallel to the floor (World Health Organization, 2011). With these measurement techniques there is a risk for interrater error. To reduce the risk, these measurements will be taken twice by two different members of the research team. If the two measurements are not the same, but they are relatively similar, the average will be calculated and accepted as the measurement used…
