ÍNDICE CINTURA-CADERA EN MUJERES QUE SE PERCIBE COMO MÁS ATRACTIVO POR HOMBRES DE 20 A 30 AÑOS DE EDAD
Abstract
Introducción: En mujeres, se sugiere que una figura con un índice cintura-cadera (ICC) de 0.7 corresponde a una distribución de grasa óptima indicando mayor fertilidad y es más atractiva hacia los hombres. Sin embargo, se han reportado otras preferencias en la relación ICC por hombres de distintas poblaciones. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal descriptivo. Se entrevistaron 101 hombres universitarios de 20 a 30 años de edad. Se pidió indicar la silueta más atractiva utilizando la escala de Rozmus-Wrezeniska (2014) que presenta dos filas de 5 siluetas cada una con cambio en el ICC de 0.6 a 0.8 manteniendo la misma circunferencia de cadera en la fila superior y la circunferencia de cintura en la fila inferior. Resultados: Cuando se hizo variar la circunferencia de cintura sin cambiar la circunferencia de cadera, 32.6% de los hombres consideró un ICC de 0.6 en las mujeres como más atractivo (P<0.0001). Cuando se hizo variar la cadera sin cambiar la cintura, 20.7% consideraron un ICC de 0.6 como más atractivo (P<0.0001). Se encontró además que 82.1% prefirió una distribución de grasa en las mujeres en el área de caderas y piernas. Discusión y conclusiones: El ICC de 0.6 en las mujeres es el que se percibe como más atractivo por un grupo de estudiantes universitarios de 20 a 30 años de edad. Una circunferencia de cintura más estrecha se prefiere aun cuando el tamaño de cadera varía o no cambia. Los jóvenes prefieren en las mujeres una mayor distribución de grasa en caderas y piernas.
Introduction: In women, it is suggested that a figure with a waist-hip ratio (WHR) of 0.7 corresponds to an optimal fat distribution indicating greater fertility and is more attractive to men. However, there have been other preferences in relation ICC by men of different populations. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study. 101 college men were interviewed 20 to 30 years old. He was asked to indicate the most attractive silhouette using scale Rozmus-Wrezeniska (2014) having two rows of 5 silhouettes each with change in the ICC 0.6 to 0.8 while maintaining the same hip circumference in the top row and waist circumference on the bottom row. Results: When was varied waist circumference without changing the hip circumference, 32.6% of men found an ICC of 0.6 on women as more attractive (P <0.0001). When hip was varied without changing the waist, 20.7% saw a 0.6 ICC as more attractive (P <0.0001). It was also found that 82.1% preferred a fat distribution in women in the area of hips and legs. Discussion: a group of university students from 20-30 years old perceives the ICC 0.6 in women as more attractive. A narrower waist circumference is preferred even though hip size varies or does not change. Young women prefer a greater distribution of fat in the hips and legs
