Measurement and related factor analysis of leg length in young unmarried females

Abstract

Objective To investigate the aesthetic standard of leg length in young unmarried females.and to provide an additional reference for leg-plasty.Methods According to the data of the 531 young healthy women aged 17 to 20 years,the mean,standard of height,weight,hip circumference,lowaer limb length,leg length,leg girth,lower leg length-girth index,and leg girth index were calculated.Correlations between these parameters were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 software.Results Heightwas(163.22±4.03)cm,weight was(53.82±6.12)kg,hip circumference was (91.51±4.56)cm,whole leg was(75.95±2.97)cm,leg was(37.97±1.83)cm,length of leg maximal girth to tibial tuberosity(14.13±0.74)cm,length of leg medium girth to tibial tuberosity (18.99±0.92)cm,leg maximal girth(34.91±1.82)cm,leg minimal girth(20.30±1.06)cm,leg length to height ratio was 23.26±0.90,lower leg to whole leg ratio 50.01±1.95,leg maximal girth to hip circumference was 38.18±1.66,lower leg length-girth index was 92.12±5.86,leg girth index was 58.21±2.84.and the distance from leg maximal girth point to tibial tuberosity to leg length ratio was 37.26±1.78.Distance from leg maximal girth point to tibial tuberosity to leg length ratio and leg girth index had significant correlation with height,and hip circumference,but had no significant correlation with weight.Lower leg length-girth index had significant correlation with height,weight,and hip circumference.Conclusion These data have some reference value on analyzing the characteristics of human female leg cosmetology.
