I got this from Wikipedia:
Waist-to-Hip Ratio or Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) is the ratio of the circumference of the waist and the circumference of the hips. In other words, WHR refers to proportions by which fat is distributed around the torso.
A WHR of 0.7 for women has been shown to strongly correlate with general health and fertility. For example women within the 0.7 range have optimal levels of estrogen, are less susceptible to major diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and risk for ovarian cancers.
WHR is considered to be factor in judging female and male attractiveness. Women with a 0.7 WHR (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are often rated as more attractive by men, regardless of their culture, race, religion, ethnicity or any other subjective factors. Such diverse beauty "icons" as Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, Sophia Loren, Kate Moss, and the Venus de Milo all have ratios around 0.7 despite having significantly different weights. Consequently, there is strong evidence to suggest that from an evolutionary perspecitve humans use subtle biological cues, such as WHR, to indicate mate potential and fertility.
In women, a WHR greater then 0.8 is associated with a greater risk for heart desease and other ailements.
