A recent U.S. study made on 16,000 women and girls revealed that women with small waists and big hips scored better results at cognitive tests.

The study will be published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior this week.
The study’s authors from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, Santa Barbara seem to have answers why men prefer women with smaller waist than hips, who they called curvy women, even if they are compared to their slimmer counterparts.

<P class=MsoNormal itxtvisited="1">According to the new discoveries, the fat 
around the curvy hips and thighs contains higher level of omega-3 fatty acids, 
which are essential for the good development of the brain during pregnancy. That 
is the reason why scientists believe that curvier women appear to have children 
that are more intelligent.<O:P itxtvisited="1"> <BR itxtvisited="1"></O:P 
itxtvisited="1"></p> <P class=MsoNormal itxtvisited="1">The fat surrounding women’s waist holds 
omega-6 fatty acids, which are not of so much importance in the development of 
the brain. Waist fat can also be a major factor in causing diabetes and heart 
diseases. That is the reason why curvy women seem to live longer as the research 
shows.<O:P itxtvisited="1"> <BR itxtvisited="1"></O:P itxtvisited="1"></p> <P class=MsoNormal itxtvisited="1">Women who are thin have neither omega-3 nor 
omega-6 fatty acids. This could help them live longer but do not affect their 
intelligence too much.<O:P itxtvisited="1"> <BR itxtvisited="1"></O:P 
itxtvisited="1"></p> <P class=MsoNormal itxtvisited="1">Omega-3 fatty acids seem to be stored in 
men’s hips too. However, scientists did not analyze whether men with wide hips 
also have better results at cognitive tests than their slimmer counterparts. 
This will probably be another theme for some future researches.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CB99F84C-FB07-486F-8CFE-C8007FE306ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
