He once had his bones scanned. He was told by the doctor that he had the most dense bones he had ever seen. Glad to read someone is proving what I had always thought. Having wide hips has never slowed me down and I have always been regarded as an athlete. It makes me so annoyed when people try to tell me that I will develop these things because of my hips.
Action running not words, usually shuts them up. If you are indeed looking to establish the width of your hips from the biomechanical perspective, you are interested in the distance between the center of the sphere like upper ends of you femurs, which could only be seen on a non magnified frontal X Ray of your pelvis.
Wrapping a measuring tape around your butt will give measurement of just that- as it would be affected by highly variable amounts of adipose tissue, as well as effect from prominence of ischial tuberosities of your pelvis and greater trochantors of your femurs. It would also be affected by the hieght at which you take your measure. From a biomechanical perspective it is largely irrelevant, unless width of lumbar vertebrae is to be used for some sort of indexing. That info would likely show up for at least the lower lumbar vertebrae in the pelvic X ray, or could be shown in a lumbar X ray taken at the same time and focal field distance to avoid disproportionate magnification.
If they are not, no need for picture of same, but X Ray showing bone density and genetically linked degree of sexual dimorphism still valuable. I have been interested in the answer to this question for the 35 yrars of my professional career as a Chiropractor. It would be appreciated if you were to help me answer it to own satisfaction by providing the above.

According to the American Council on Exercise , climbing stairs can burn about three times more calories than going for a walk.
By targeting the muscles of your lower body and burning calories at a high rate, this type of workout may be helpful with reducing overall body fat, including extra weight on your hips.
Stair climbing exercises can be done indoors or outdoors. You can use the stair climber machine at the gym, or you can look for a parking garage or outdoor stadium that has flights of stairs that you can run up and down. Burning more calories through targeted exercises and following a healthy diet can help you lose total body fat.

High-intensity interval training HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise alternated with recovery periods. Here are 7 health benefits of HIIT. Body positivity starts from the inside out. They measured the distance between the hip joints, the width of the hip joints, the width of the pelvic inlet the birth canal opening that sits in the middle of the pelvis and the height and width of the L4 vertebra, to make sure their patients didn't skew larger and taller to begin with.
Perhaps we just happened to recruit a bunch of old big people and young, small people," Dahners said. The width of the pelvis in the oldest patients was, on average, almost an inch larger than in the youngest patients, which can lead to a 3-inch increase in waist size from age 20 to age 79, and a weight gain of about a pound a year.
The finding can offer comfort -- and insight -- to the weight-afflicted. It's not the dryer. It must be you. Maybe it is, but now I can say it's my bones. Paula, 39, a writer, said, "I figured the widening of my hips was water retention, or that I'd put on weight. If it's the bones, now I feel better. And the relief they feel is only natural. Aside from providing a new excuse for a widening girth, what does the finding mean? Even Dahners was hard-pressed to come up with anything important to the practice of treating patients with bone problems.
