The purpose ofthis study is to detennine ifthere is a significant variance between the
results of two differing methods of detennining waist girth measurements and how this
variance impacts a subject's disease risk stratification. Past research has shown a
correlation between the absolute waist girth measurement and an increased risk for
cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The standard measurement used for detennining
waist girth uses the narrowest location between the xyphoid process (tip ofthe sternum)
and the umbilicus (belly button). Recent guidelines published by the United Stated
Department of Agriculture (USDA) have altered the procedures for locating the waist
girth measurement. This measurement requires the professional to measure the subject at
the level of the iliac crest (top most point of the ilium or hip bone). The waists of one
hundred one subjects were assessed at the two sites described above. In addition, the
height, weight, age and gender of each subject were recorded. Comparisons were made
among the subjects by dividing them into categories according BMI classification,
gender, and age. Two-tail t-tests were then perfonned in order to declare statistical
significance and draw conclusions from the study results. The subjects were risk was
also evaluated strictly based upon the waist girth measurement and discussion of the
validity and accuracy of the detenninations produced by each site followed. This study is
up for presentation at the Midwest and/or national ACSM conferences in the fall of 2004.

Introduction
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a significant variance between the
results of two differing methods of determining waist girth measurements and how this variance
impacts a subject's disease risk stratification. There are numerous published assessment
guidelines available to health and fitness professionals. This makes it important for professionals
to know what variances can occur between the different measuring methods when selecting one
set of guidelines over another.
Past research has shown a correlation between the absolute waist girth measurement and
an increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The standard measurement used for
determining waist girth uses the narrowest location between the xyphoid process (tip of the
sternum) and the umbilicus (belly button). This measurement is referred to as waist girth
measurement 1 on the data tables. Recent guidelines published by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) have altered the procedures for locating the waist girth measurement.
This measurement requires the professional to measure the subject at the level of the iliac crest
(top most point of the ilium or hip bone). This measurement is referred to as waist girth
measurement 2 on the data tables. This change in protocol was made in an attempt to reduce
measurement variability between individuals and within individuals that have had a significant
change in waist size (intersubject variability). It may also help to provide more consistency
between multiple professionals measuring the same subject (reduction of intertester variability).
Methods
Subjects were recruited by posting flyers (see example of said flyer in Appendix A)
around the Ball State University Campus, through e-mails, and personal discussion with potential
2
clients. Clients were personally recruited in the Adult Fitness Laboratory through the adult
exercise program and in the Undergraduate Exercise Science Laboratory during open lab hours.
All subjects were required to be over the age of eighteen at the time of measurement.
Participants were also required to be free of disabilities or diseases that might affect the accurate
assessment of waist girth. Examples of such diseases include any diseases that involve excessive
curvature of the spine. Females who were pregnant during the time of subject recruitment were
also excluded from the study.
Subject data was stored in a secure location at all times. The subject's name, age, and
gender were recorded and a number was randomly assigned to himlher upon arrival. Each
subject was then informed of the potential risks and benefits of participation in the study. The
potential risks of involvement in this study were slight. Some clients may have found the
sensation of the tape measure around their waist to be uncomfortable, but this discomfort was
typically more from a societal/aesthetic standpoint than a physical one. A tension regulated tape
measure was used, meaning that consistent pressure was applied to the torso while collecting
waist girth measurements. All measures occurred behind a closed door in order to ensure subject
privacy. The potential benefits of participation were knowledge of current height, weight, waist
circumference, and disease risk classification for each subject. Prior to any data collection the
informed consent document (see consent form in Appendix A) was reviewed thoroughly by each
subject and all subject questions were answered prior to obtaining their signature.
Using standardized techniques, subjects were assessed in the areas of height, weight, and
waist circumference during one visit to the Undergraduate or Adult Fitness Laboratories. The
duration of these visits was approximately ten minutes. The height and weight measurement
devices which were used included a wall-mounted stadiometer and a medical balance scale. The
3
two scales were standardized using a predetennined weight. Subject height and weight were
assessed while wearing minimal attire after having removed shoes and any heavy objects from
pockets or elsewhere on the person. The waist measurement device was a standard tension
regulated medical tape measure. 1his device was kept with me at all times, so the same tape
measure was used for every subject. Each subject was measured at each of the two possible
waist measurement sites. All waist measurements occurred on bare skin.
Each subject's height and weight were then used to calculate the Body Mass Index
(BMI). 1his calculation is used to summarize the relationship between an individual's height
and weight. The risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease has been shown to rise with
increases in Body Mass Index and waist circumference. Subject BMI values were compared
with established nonns in order to detennine their level of disease risk. The level of disease risk
was then reported to each individual.
Results
I was able to recruit one hundred one subjects over a two month period of time. Sixtyone subjects were females and forty subjects were males. Fifty-five subjects were between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-four years, two subjects were between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty-nine years, eleven subjects were between the ages of forty and fifty-nine years, twenty
seven subjects were between the ages of sixty and seventy-nine years, and six subjects were
between the ages of eighty and ninety-nine years.
Each subject's disease risk was assessed based upon his/her waist circumference
measurements. A waist circumference greater than 100 cm places a person at increased risk for
cardiovascular and metabolic diseases according to the American College of Sports Medicine
4
(ACSM) guidelines. Using this guideline fifteen of the subjects were assessed as having an
increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases according to the standard site. All of
these subjects were also found to be at increased risk at the USDA site. Six additional subjects
were also found to be at increased disease risk according to the USDA.
Each subject was also classified according to the BMI calculations and hislher disease
risk was assessed. Forty nine subjects were classified as normal with no increased risk of
suffering from a cardiovascular or metabolic disease. Thirty five subjects were classified as
overweight with a slightly increased risk of suffering from a cardiovascular or metabolic disease,
and seventeen subjects were classified as obese with a greatly increased risk of suffering from a
cardiovascular or metabolic disease.
The two different waist girth measurements of the subjects were then assessed using two
tail t-tests"', which were performed on a TI -83 calculator, in order to determine if a significant
difference exists between the two sites. Among the forty-nine subjects who fell under the normal
BMI classification there was a significant difference between the two waist girth measurements. t
There was also a significant difference between the two waist girth measurements among the
thirty-five subjects who fell into the overweight BMI category. However, the seventeen subjects
who were categorized as obese according to their BMI did NOT produce a significant difference
between the two waist girth measurements.
The differences between the two waist girth values among the subjects in the normal BMI
category were then compared to the differences between the two waist girth values among the

subjects in the overweight BMI category.: This comparison was found to be significant at the
.05 level. This means that I can be 95% certain that there is a significant difference between the
differences in the normal BMI category and those in the overweight BMI category. The
differences in the normal BMI category were additionally compared to the differences in the
obese BMI category, and there was NOT a significant difference between the differences in these
two categories.
Lastly, the differences in the overweight BMI category were compared to the differences
in the obese BMI category. This comparison was also found to be significant at the .05 level. It
follows from this information that I can 95% certain that this comparison is significant.
Following the BMI comparisons, more two tail t-tests were run in order to determine if
variances occurred among the members of each gender and the subjects in each of the five age
groups. Among the female subjects there was a significant difference between the two waist
girth measurement sites. The male subjects, however, did NOT produce a significant difference
between the two waist girth measurement sites.
The subjects who ranged in age from eighteen to twenty-four years produced a
determination which declares a significant difference between the two waist girth sites. This age
group was, in fact the only age group to produce significant results. The results for the subjects
in each of the additional four age group categories were determined to be insignificant according
to set statistical standards.
: These statistics were performed in order to examine whether or not there were greater differences in larger BMI
classification categories.

Discussion
In the previous section I presented a lot of potentially confusing statistical infonnation.
Now I have the opportunity to explain the previously mentioned infonnation in much simpler
tenns. For those subjects in the nonnal and overweight BMI categories the waist is significantly
larger at the top most point of the ilium or hip bone (USDA site) than it is at the narrowest point
between the umbilicus and the xyphoid process or tip of the sternum (standard measurement
site). For those subjects in the obese BMI category the waist is not significantly larger at the
USDA site.
On average subjects in the overweight BMI category had a significantly larger difference
between the two measurement sites than the subjects who fell into either the nonnal or obese
categories. While the comparison of the differences between the waist girth sites for the subjects
in the obese and normal BMI categories was not found to have statistical significance. the
differences for the obese subjects were on average smaller. The lack of statistical significance
could also be due to the fact that there were substantially fewer subjects in the study who fell
under the obese category than subjects who fell into the nonnal category. From the results I
received. it appears that the USDA waist site becomes larger as a person gains weight until they
reach the point of obesity in which case the standard site begins to catch up in size to the USDA
site causing a smaller difference between the two sites. In some instances the standard site was
even found to be larger than the USDA site. It may be beneficial to perfonn a study in which the
same numbers of subjects are recruited in each BMI category in order to detennine whether or
not the previous statement continues to be correct.
The next results to appear in the above section were those that looked at the gender of the
subjects. The study detennined that females are significantly larger at the USDA site than the
7
standard site. However, the male subjects produced similar results for both waist girth
measurement sites. So it can be concluded that males will be less affected by a change in the
standard measurement site, than females. Ofthe six subjects added to the at risk category by the
USDA standard, five were females.
The final comparisons that were made were based upon the age of the subject. Subjects
ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-four years had much greater girths at the USDA site. The
subjects ranging in age from twenty-five to thirty-nine years showed numbers that were nearly
the same. However, both subjects in this age group were male, so that probably had a large
influence upon the results.
The remaining three age groups did not have data that was statistically significant. The
two sets of numbers for the subjects who were between the ages of forty and fifty-nine years
produced similar numbers between the two sites. However, the subjects between the ages of
sixty and seventy-nine years and eighty and ninety-nine years produced average differences of
4.722 cm and 5.750 cm respectively. This is not a small average difference. The lack of
statistical significance found between the two measurement sites among the subjects in these age
categories could be attributed to the small numbers of subjects who were at these ages during the
time of the study, especially in the eighty to ninety-nine years of age category. Therefore, it
could be beneficial to measure more subjects from these age group categories in order to
determine if the lack of significance truly was due to the low number of subjects. It may also be
beneficial to perform a follow up study in which equal numbers of subjects were recruited from
each age category to see if there are trends in the differences between the two waist girth
measurement sites with increasing age.
8
When looking at this study as a whole it is important to remember that the main purpose
for the existence of waist girth measurement techniques is to give a health and fitness
professional the ability to assess a person's risk for cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. As
stated previously, the USDA measurement site added six more subjects to the list of subjects
who were at risk according to the standard measurement site. The data also shows that only one
of the subjects who were placed at increased risk by both measurement sites was assessed as
overweight by the BMI classification system. All other subjects who were deemed to be at risk
according to the standard measurement site fell into the obese BMI category. However, there
were three subjects in the overweight BMI category who were determined to be at risk by only
the USDA measurement site. This means that the new site is labeling more people from the
overweight category as being at increased risk for disease.
This study cannot conclude whether or not this is a positive outcome. In order to
properly assess these results a longitudinal study would have to be performed. In such a study
those who were deemed to be at risk only by the USDA site could be monitored over the years in
an effort to determine ifthe subjects are in fact at an increased risk or if they were wrongfully
placed into this category.
Overall I feel that this was a beneficial study which proved that the two waist girth
measurement sites being discussed are not interchangeable. It is possible that more accurate risk
stratification could corne about as the result of the institution of this new site. However, simply
because the site is easier for professionals to locate, does not mean that it is a better site. Further
research will have to be done before professionals could consider making the USDA site a new
standard for waist girth measurement.

A Comparison of Two Methods of Assessing Waist Girth in Males and Females
The purpose of this research study is to determine if differences exist between two differing
methods of measuring waist girth.
Trained personnel, using standardized techniques, will assess you in the areas of height, weight,
and waist circumference during one visit to the Human Performance Lab. The duration of these
assessments will be approximately 10 minutes. The height and weight measurement devices will include
the use of a wall-mounted stadiometer and a medical balance scale. Your height and weight will be
assessed while wearing minimal attire (i.e. shorts and t-shirt). The waist measurement device will be
standard medical tape measure.
It is extremely unlikely that any subject will experience any physical discomfort during these
measurements. Waist girth measures will be collected using two different anatomical landmark
protocols. One protocol uses the narrowest portion of the torso between the zyphoid process (tip of the
sternum) and the umbilicus (belly button) to determine waist measurement location. The other protocol
uses the circumference of the torso just superior to the iliac crest (top of the hip bone) to determine waist
measurement location. All waist measures will occur on the bare skin, so please inform the technician if
you have sensitivities or discomforts that would be exacerbated by having your waist girth measured.
The potential benefits of participation are knowledge of your current height, weight, waist
circumference, and disease risk classification. Your height and weight will be used to calculate your
Body Mass Index (used to summarize the relationship between your height and weight). The risk of
cardiovascular and metabolic disease has been shown to rise with increases in Body Mass Index and
waist circumference. You values.will be compared with established norms and your level of disease risk
will be reported to you.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you are free to withdraw from the
study at anytime for any reason without penalty or prejudice from the investigator. Your name will not be
used in any presentation of the data or results from the study and all data and results will be treated with
strict confidentiality.

*AII critical t-values were obtained from the table in Appendix A. The above t values are reported with a .01 level
of significance. This means that I can be 99% sure that the values are significant.
The critical t values for a .05 level of significance did not affect the Significance of any of the data in this table
therefore they are not reported
