Data::Vitals::Chest - A measurement of the circumference of the torso at the chest/bust

  Data::Vitals::Circumference
  `--> Data::Vitals::Chest

Data::Vitals::Chest is part of the Perl "Vital Statistics" Library.

It is a very simple class that allows you to create objects that represent a single measurement of the circumference of the human torso at the chest.

In women, this measurement is also known as the "bust" measurement, and is a component of the equation used to determine bra size.

The chest measurement is taken with a tape measure around the torso, with the tape loose, but just tight enough to avoid the tape falling.

The measurement should be taken at the largest point, and includes the breast. In both men and women this usually means taking the measurement so that the tape runs over the nippples.

More information and diagrams are available at http://www.sewing.org/enthusiast/html/el_bodymeasure.html.

Data::Vitals::Chest is implemented primarily in Data::Vitals::Circumference and shares all its methods.

Data::Vitals::Chest does not have any additional methods unique to it.
