Thunder thighs

Glad to see that my 'sturdy' thighs - which have always caused me grief when buying jeans - may actually indicate a reduced risk of heart disease :)

According to Danish researchers, men and women with a thigh circumference of less than 60 cm had a greater risk of coronary heart disease and premature death.

I'll choose to ignore the fact that the association shown by the researchers does not demonstrate causation just to make me feel better (I had a hard time trying on jeans at the Gap last night).
