Measurement of central (torso) and appendicular (limb) girths were made in Nigerian women of middle class extraction who were adjudged to be free from obesity and compared with Indian women of the same age and class reported in literature. It was found that all girth measurements tended to increase with increasing age and were higher in Nigerians than in Indians. Nigerians tended to be more obese in the buttocks, waist and abdomen. The values obtained should provide for anthropometric evaluation in obesity management with jejuno-ileal bypass surgical modality, paniculectomy-apronectomy and even in conservative methods of obesity management.
对出身中产阶级、被判定无肥胖问题的尼日利亚女性进行了躯干（身体中部）和四肢（肢体）周长测量，并与文献中报道的同年龄、同阶层的印度女性进行了比较。结果发现，所有周长测量值都倾向于随着年龄增长而增加，且尼日利亚女性的测量值高于印度女性。尼日利亚女性在臀部、腰部和腹部往往更肥胖。所获得的值应为采用空肠回肠旁路手术方式、腹壁成形术-围裙状切除术甚至保守的肥胖管理方法进行肥胖管理中的人体测量评估提供依据。
