One hundred men, living in three villages in a remote region of the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea were asked to judge the attractiveness of photographs of women who had undergone micrograft surgery to reduce their waist-to-hip ratios (WHRs). Micrograft surgery involves harvesting adipose tissue from the waist and reshaping the buttocks to produce a low WHR and an "hourglass" female figure. Men consistently chose postoperative photographs as being more attractive than preoperative photographs of the same women. Some women gained, and some lost weight, postoperatively, with resultant changes in body mass index (BMI). However, changes in BMI were not related to men's judgments of attractiveness. These results show that the hourglass female figure is rated as attractive by men living in a remote, indigenous community, and that when controlling for BMI, WHR plays a crucial role in their attractiveness judgments.
一百名男性，居住在巴布亚新几内亚东部高地偏远地区的三个村庄，被要求对接受微移植手术以降低腰臀比（WHR）的女性照片的吸引力进行评判。微移植手术包括从腰部提取脂肪组织并重塑臀部，以产生低 WHR 和“沙漏”女性身材。男性一致选择术后照片比同一女性的术前照片更有吸引力。一些女性在手术后体重增加，有些则减少，导致身体质量指数（BMI）发生变化。然而，BMI 的变化与男性对吸引力的判断无关。这些结果表明，沙漏形女性身材被生活在偏远的土著社区的男性评为有吸引力，并且在控制 BMI 时，WHR 在他们的吸引力判断中起着至关重要的作用。
