A well-managed body shape can be attractive to the opposite sex. Pointing to the recent limitations of body mass index (BMI), 'Waist-Hip-Ratio (WHR)', which is a number that divides the waist circumference by the hip circumference, is emerging as a new barometer of obesity. Then, what is the WHR that can give the most favorable impression to the opposite sex. Recently, a foreign researcher drew my attention to the answer.

◇Reason appeal WHR ratio 'Women 0.7, Men 0.9'

According to a study by Newcastle University in the UK, the WHR of women in which men are visually attracted to family sex was 0.7. In terms of figures, 24 inches (61 cm) at the waist and 34 to 36 inches (86 to 91 cm) at the hip are close to 0.7.




Sohn Bo-ri, CEO of 365mc Yeongdeungpo Branch, said, "0.7 is easy to think of the so-called "cola bottle body"."The more solid the hips and the shorter the waist, the closer it is to 0.7, he explained." "On the contrary, the narrower the pelvis is due to abdominal obesity with thick belly fat, the larger the WHR is," he added.

According to him, it is not easy to make 0.7 because Asian women have a thin waist but also narrow pelvis. It is a realistic way to make the waist thinner through abdominal exercises and strengthen the thighs and hips through lower body exercises. At this time, in order to add feminine beauty, high-quality fat must also be left out. Another method is to add omega-3-containing foods such as △ mackerel △ salmon △ walnuts to the diet.

CEO Sohn says medical help can be considered if exercise and diet have not been effective.




He said "Fat distribution is innate, so you can't just lose or add weight to the desired areaIn this case, satisfaction can be maximized by inhaling abdominal fat and injecting it into the pelvis," he said.

On the other hand, it is known that men's ideal WHR is 0.9 to 1. This means that it is desirable to have a similar waist and hip circumference or a thinner waist. Men have narrower pelvis than women, but they should be careful of their stomachs as they show signs of abdominal obesity getting worse as they get older.

"Men have more muscle mass and more metabolism than women, which is advantageous for body type management and diet," he said. "If bad eating habits continue, such as riding a car or enjoying games rather than exercising, you should be careful because abdominal obesity is likely to occur."




◇WHR, to clear old age?…It also affects cognitive function

We should not let abdominal obesity management go just because we became a couple by exchanging likes with a healthy body. Better keep WHR in 'normal range' for a healthy retirement life. In particular, some studies show that lifestyle habits in their 40s can influence cognitive health 30 years later. In other words, the healthier WHR was, the better the cognitive function in old age.

This is the result of analyzing data collected from 1,200 people over decades by researchers from six organizations, including Oxford University in the UK and the Max Planck Institute of Brain Science in Germany. The research team concluded that abdominal obesity in middle age can negatively affect brain cognitive health in old age.

As a result of the study, the lower the WHR and healthier the diet in middle age, the better the brain connectivity and cognitive ability in old age. In particular, the researchers explained that the functional connectivity and brain white matter health of the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory and learning, were good. On the other hand, when the waist circumference was relatively thick in their 40s and body fat was concentrated in the abdomen, they were relatively inferior in terms of 'work memory' and 'execution function' in their 70s.

"WHR is also a measure of whether there are many visceral fats that cause inflammation," Sohn said. "As abdominal obesity adversely affects brain health, we should prepare for old age by maintaining healthy habits even in middle age."

◇Improved visceral fat, aerobic exercise, diet...Subcutaneous fat is difficult just by dieting

Abdominal obesity is caused by the addition of subcutaneous and visceral fat. The only ways to improve visceral fat are aerobic exercise and diet. This alone can significantly improve abdominal obesity.

But the subcutaneous fat is different. Subcutaneous fat, which is thickly caught when pinched in the stomach, can be difficult to improve with a normal diet alone. If you have a body shape with a lot of subcutaneous fat in your abdomen when you lose some weight, or if it is difficult to improve WHR with a straight waist, you can also consider medical treatment.

"In obesity-specialized medical institutions, not only behavioral modification therapy for health promotion, but also body type correction therapy such as liposuction and liposuction injection are performed," said Sohn. "By treating obesity according to one's physical condition, one will be able to gain confidence and protect future cardiovascular and brain health."
