Zusammenfassung:In this study, we attempted to develop a reference guide to determine the female waistline based on the golden ratio for waist sculpting in females, which may help in waist sculpting by liposuction or non-invasive techniques. To understand the anatomy of the waist, we studied the 60 photographs of females and measured the distances between important anatomical landmarks. The different values and proportions obtained were compared between different groups of heights and two groups of BMI using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) through analysis of variance (ANOVA). There is a golden ratio in the distances between xiphoid to waist and waist to the abdominal crease that is close to 1:1.66, and the waist is at the junction of the upper 2/5th and lower 3/5th of the height from xiphoid to abdominal crease. The location of the waist is at one-third of the whole length of the abdomen (the whole length of the abdomen being the length from the xiphoid to the pudendal cleft). We observed in our study that there is a definite mathematical relationship between the length of the abdomen and the waist position, which may be applied for female waist sculpting.
