Grab a measuring tape and let’s see what our thigh circumference is! Thigh circumference = a measure of muscle + healthy fat. Researchers measure it at spots like mid-thigh or under the glutes. In short: strong thighs = strong health 💪 And no one proves it better than Namjoon 🔥

Infographic with Namjoon standing wearing blue shorts, and towel around his neck, with visible muscular thighs and a tape measure around one. To the left, gold text on a black background reads “Thigh Circumference” followed by bullet points: Thigh circumference is the measurement of the girth or width of the upper leg
Thigh circumference often reflects body muscle mass and peripheral subcutaneous fat (healthier fat)
Research uses variable methods of measurement with patient positioning (e.g. flat vs. standing) and measurement location at different landmarks (e.g. mid thigh vs under gluteal fold)
Sources are listed at the bottom in small text.
