This review summarizes body circumference-based anthropometrics that are in common use for research and in some cases clinical application. These include waist and hip circumference-based central body indices to predict cardiometabolic risk: waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-thigh ratio, body adiposity index, a body shape index (ABSI), hip index (HI), and body roundness index (BRI). Limb circumference measurements are most often used to assess sarcopenia and include: thigh circumference, calf circumference, and mid-arm circumference. Additionally, this review presents fascinating recent developments in optic-based imaging technologies that have elucidated changes over the last decades in average body size and shape in European populations. The classical apple and pear shape concepts of body shape difference remain useful, but novel and exciting 3-D optical "e-taper" measurements provide a potentially powerful new future vista in anthropometrics.
本综述总结了常用于研究以及某些情况下临床应用的基于身体周长的人体测量指标。这些指标包括基于腰围和臀围的中心身体指数，用于预测心脏代谢风险：腰围、腰臀比、腰高比、腰大腿比、身体肥胖指数、身体形状指数（ABSI）、臀围指数（HI）和身体圆润度指数（BRI）。肢体周长测量最常用于评估肌肉减少症，包括：大腿围、小腿围和上臂围。此外，本综述介绍了基于光学成像技术的最新迷人进展，这些进展阐明了过去几十年欧洲人群平均体型和形状的变化。经典的苹果型和梨型体型差异概念仍然有用，但新颖且令人兴奋的三维光学“电子锥度”测量为人体测量学提供了一个潜在强大的新未来前景。
