Data::Vitals::Waist - A measurement of the circumference of the torso at the waist
Data::Vitals::Circumference `--> Data::Vitals::Waist
Data::Vitals::Waist is part of the Perl "Vital Statistics" Library.
It is a very simple class that allows you to create objects that represent a single measurement of the circumference of the human torso at the waist.
The waist measurement is generally taken with a tape measure around the waist, with the tape loose, but just tight enough to avoid the tape falling.
The measurement should be taken at the inflection point. If the waist is thinner than the hips or chest it should be taken at the thinnest point. If the waist is larger than the hips or chest it should be taken at the widest point.
More information and diagrams are available at http://www.sewing.org/enthusiast/html/el_bodymeasure.html.
Data::Vitals::Waist is implemented primarily in Data::Vitals::Circumference and shares all its methods.
Data::Vitals::Waist does not have any additional methods unique to it.
