Each 10cm increase in hip circumference was associated with a 10 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality, and each 5cm increase in thigh circumference was linked to an 18 per cent lower risk." Perhaps instead of frivolous studies based on nothing and irrelevant to everyone, these news sources could report on actual news and stop commenting on what's right or wrong with our bodies. -- Yael Tygiel
