Apparently a woman's attractiveness now relates to the size of her waist compared with her hips, fresh scientific research suggests.

The perfect figure for women, in the eyes of men, has been revealed as 0.7, which means a waist measuring 70 per cent of the hip circumference.

Examples include lucky celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Kate Moss, Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio and screen vamp Marilyn Monroe.

The findings are based on experimental evidence of what men have found attractive through history.

According to anthropologist Dr Barnaby Dixson at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, the size of a woman’s waist compared with her hips was found to be the most appealing female asset for men, rather than breast size or overall weight.

During the study, a group of volunteers were asked to rate images of women for attractiveness in which their bust, waist and hips were digitally altered in the pictures.

Infra-red cameras also tracked their eyes as they looked at the photos.

Dr Dixson claims: “It is likely that the perfect 0.7 ratio sends a biological signal to men that that woman is most fertile and most likely to produce a healthy offspring, no matter what size that woman is."

”It is all about the distribution of fat which is directly linked to fertility.”
