Your waist circumference is your waist measurement, and is used to help determine and monitor how much body fat you have. A high waist circumference (over 35 inches in women, and over 40 inches in men) is due to excess stomach fat and is associated with the development of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure.
