Thigh circumference is a broad indicator of physical activity and muscle mass is related to how much exercise you do, according to Professor David Cameron-Smith of Deakin University in Melbourne. According to a report published in the British Medical Journal (sept 2009), the thigh circumference is linked to the risk of heart disease and premature death.
The heart disease risk is more than double for men and women who have a thigh circumference of less than 55 cm. The protection against heart disease is most for those with thighs between 55 and 60 cm. However, for people with thighs more than 60 cm in circumference, the protection reduces. Put a measuring tape around your thighs to know its circumference.
The thigh circumference is, therefore, as important as the Waist to hip ratio.
