Thigh highs

-

Bigger thighs may be a sign of better health, according to a study of more than 9000 Chinese men and women over 40 in Endocrine Connection­s. Those with a larger thigh circumfere­nce (over 54cm for women) were less likely to have high blood pressure (BP), while those with thinner thighs (under 50cm for women) were more likely to have high BP. The results held true regardless of age, BMI or waist size.
