Not useful for dating, the abdominal circumference of the fetus may also be measured.

Ghroubi et al. (2007) concluded that a high abdominal circumference is associated with great functional repercussion.

In the second trimester, doctors measure abdominal circumference, and check the chambers of the heart, the kidneys and bladder to spot defects and monitor growth.

Ghroubi et al. (2007) examined whether abdominal circumference is a more reliable indicator than BMI of the presence of knee osteoarthritis in obese patients.

However increase in abdominal circumference may be due to increase in subcutaneous or visceral fat, and it is the visceral fat which increases risk of coronary diseases.

The physical training test consists of a one and a half mile run, one minute of push - ups, one minute of sit - ups, and an abdominal circumference measurement.

The US Air Force Fitness Test (AFFT) is designed to test the abdominal circumference, muscular strength/endurance and cardiovascular respiratory fitness of airmen in the USAF.
