A groundbreaking new study has unveiled that South African women boast the biggest average hip size in the world, surpassing countries like Nigeria and the United States.

The comprehensive research, compiled by data analysts at Gitnux, scrutinized data from multiple sources to determine hip circumference across various regions.

“The statistic states that, on average, South African women have a hip size of 41.73 inches,” the study revealed.

“This number represents the mean hip size of a sample of South African women and is derived from collecting measurements from each woman and calculating the average of those measurements.”
