According to a recent report from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
of Japan (厚生労働省) , people who have a higher level of
physical activity and exercise have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular
diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, depression and dementia in compared to those
who are less active. The study highlights that adopting exercise habits
is crucial for a long and healthy life . One of the most surprising
conclusions of the report is that, except in cases of extreme obesity, having
thicker thighs is related to a lower mortality rate (that is, longer life
expectancy) .
The report explains that walking uses
the calf muscles, which improves blood flow. Better
blood flow ensures that oxygen reaches every corner of the body through the
capillaries. Even walking at a brisk pace can be considered sufficient exercise
to obtain these benefits. A shocking fact from 2009 revealed that the
thicker the thigh, the lower the mortality rate. For example, people
with a thigh circumference of 65 centimeters have a mortality rate about half
that of people with a thigh circumference of 55 centimeters.
Having large thighs indicates physical
activity such as walking or running , which has a
direct impact on longevity. This finding highlights the importance of
developing exercise habits for a longer, healthier life.
This trend towards big thighs is not only limited to
the health field. The anime industry has also reflected this preference in
its character designs. Characters like Rikka Takarada from
“SSSS.GRIDMAN” , Reisalin Stout from “Atelier Ryza”, and Rin
Tohsaka from “Fate Series” are iconic examples of anime characters
with prominent thighs that have captured the public's attention.
The taste for big thighs has joined other already
established tastes, such as big breasts and big butts, establishing itself as
an appreciated characteristic in anime characters. This phenomenon indicates
that large thighs are not only an indication of health and longevity,
but also an aesthetic trait increasingly valued in popular culture .
In short, in both real life and fiction, large
thighs have proven to be an important characteristic. From a health
perspective, they indicate higher levels of physical activity and a lower
mortality rate. In anime culture, they have become an attractive trait
valued by fans, reflecting a trend that cannot be ignored.
