目的：描述的频率分布腰围测量健康的男性和女性在UnitedStates.Design：横截面全国调查数据从第三次全国健康和营养检查Survey.Measurements：越来越严格的健康定义的基础上，自我报告的健康，病史，血压，血脂，血糖和糖化血红蛋白的测量。主要结果的措施，相对于健康状况的水平，被选中的腰围测量和腰围的患病率高于建议level.Results：腰围更健康的男性和女性之间的正态分布比在整个样本。美国国家心肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）推荐的男性102 cm和女性88 cm的值作为临界点，与健康人腰围的第95百分位相当接近，这表明很少有健康人会有高于这些临界值的值。男性94 cm和女性80 cm的较低行动水平值比NHLBI临界值更敏感，相应地特异性较低。健康和不健康的people.Conclusions腰围值之间的重叠是相当大的：在健康的男性和女性，腰围近似正态分布，并涵盖了广泛的值。
Objective: To describe the frequency distribution of waist circumference measurements in healthy men and women in the United States.Design: Cross-sectional national survey data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.Measurements: Increasingly stringent definitions of health were applied, based on self-reported health, medical history, measurements of blood pressure, blood lipids, serum glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Main outcome measures, relative to health status levels, were selected percentiles of waist measurements and the prevalence of waist circumference above recommended levels.Results: Waist circumference was more normally distributed among the healthier men and women than in the full sample. The values of 102 cm for men and 88 cm for women, recommended as cutoff points by National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), corresponded fairly closely to the 95th percentile of waist circumference for healthy people, indicating that few healthy people will have values above these cutoffs. The lower action level values of 94 cm for men and 80 cm for women were more sensitive than the NHLBI cutoff values and correspondingly less specific. The overlap of waist circumference values between healthy and unhealthy people was considerable.Conclusions: Among healthy men and women, waist circumference is approximately normally distributed and covers a broad range of values.
