The waist is the part of the abdomen between the rib cage and hips. On people with slim
bodies, the waist is the narrowest part of the torso.
The waistline refers to the horizontal line where the waist is narrowest.
Waistline differs from person to person. To locate the natural waistline, one need simply
stand upright and then tilt over to the side keeping the legs and hips straight. Where the
torso creases , that is the natural waistline. The waist is usually measured just above the
belly button. In case the waist is convex rather than concave, such as in the case of
pregnancy and obesity. the waist may be measured at a vertical level 1 inch above the
navel.
The size of a person's waist or waist circumference, indicates abdominal activity. Excess
abdominal fat is a risk factor for developing heart disease and other obesity related
diseases.
