Waist-to-Thigh Ratio

Lower values go with lower risk of death. Not measured in our NHANES panel. The curve is drawn from the published study (source below).

Risk of death relative to the curve's reference value, drawn from the published study (source below).

Published risk of death1.21×per 0.1 unit increase in waist-to-thigh ratio (95% CI 1.03–1.39) · Dose-response meta-analysis of 72 prospective general-population cohorts (2,528,297 participants); waist-to-thigh ratio pooled from only 2 studies

Waist-to-Thigh Ratio by age and sex

Each bar runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, the darker part from the 25th to the 75th, and the tick is the median. Not a reference range or a target.

The percentiles as a table
Each row is one sex and age band: the values below which 5%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 95% of people fall (ratio), from the survey named in the row. Not a reference range or a target.
