Why would a dangerously underweight woman have a relatively high waist-hip ratio? (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

Being inactive is never good even if you’re under weight or the correct weight and maybe why there is heart problems in the family, as far as hip ratio I doubt that has anything to do with it and just another thing with your genetics but those charts are not accurate because some people are just muscular

[OddBeMe]

First, I think you’re too obsessed with being attractive. I hope you’re not starving yourself. Second, guys don’t check Waist To Hip Ratios before deciding to date someone. Most guys like meat on the bones.

[mistixs]

Apparently a.7 WHR is most attractive

[OddBeMe]

Who made the WHR? I can tell you most guys don’t give a shit about waist ratio.

Your Weight is really worrisome. who cares about some arbitrary standard of waist to hip ratio.
you need to adjust your sleep, diet, hormones, before you develop health issues

[SkipStop]

Damn. My bmi is 18.4 which is somewhat underweight. 16 sounds really bad. Does your doctor ever say anything about that?

[DWornock]

If you don't have a small waist to hip ratio, it is due to your genetics and lack of hormones during puberty. The 1960s Twiggy had a small waist to hip ratio. And, 0.83 is certainly not pretty, but it is not ugly either. It's borderline attractive.

[DWornock]

0.765 is pretty. Not beautiful, but pretty.

It´s because of bone structure. Your skeleton doesn´t get narrower because you lose weight.

Schedule an appointment with a doctor or dietitian.

How are you alive? Maybe you have a lot of visceral fat and/or have a distended stomach which can happen in cases of malnutrition.

[muliebrity]

Bone structure? at my skinniest my waist line went only as low to 28.5 inches.

Her skeleton is built bigger. Her ideal weight might be bigger than a skinny chick who has a small skeleton. To be healthy you need to be following what is for you not what everyone wants.

[KezHarris]

Maybe it's body fat percentage and the lack of muscle mass.

[bimmy5000]

Could mean she could just have a bigger hip bone, shouldn't affect the health in anyway.

[Waffles731]

There are literally otters that weigh more than you.

[mistixs]

My dogs weigh more than me :p

[Waffles731]

To be fair.
There are dogs that Outweigh the largest wolves

[crazy8000]

DNA.

Those systems are usually full of flaws just like BMI system (most muscle builders are obsessive even if they only have 5 - 15 % body fat)

[Gedaria]

You tend to loose fat from around the waist before the hips specially women , they carry more fat around the hips...

[Keith469]

It's due to some women being FAR too obsessed with their appearance.

Yes, it's fair to blame SOME men.

[Holy_Ghost_Fire]

I am 5‘4” 138 lbs. What‘s my BMI?

You should weigh 110 at least. That BMI should‘t be your go to barometer. It should be your last option and resort.

[Arlyss]

Its maybe because their sample size of women didn't include a diverse enough set of body types?

[CT_CD]

It's probably due to a combination of being sedentary & having a genetic predisposition to heart disease

[Babygirl_S]

Wrong type of fat distribution can lead to that. You have a lot of visceral fat in my opinion.
