What should my waist measurement be?

For optimal health, your ideal waist size should be less than half your height. For an average 54-year-old woman, her waist should be 32 inches or less. The average height of 510 people should not exceed 35 centimeters. Use a tape measure and wrap it around your natural waist, which is above the hips, not the waist.

What are pants measurements?

Pants are generally defined by three major dimensions: waist, inseam and hips. Sometimes a measure called an increase is also taken. Knowing your pants sizes makes it easier to buy pants that fit well and saves time that you would otherwise waste in the locker room.
