=head1 INHERITANCE

  Data::Vitals::Circumference
  `--> Data::Vitals::Underarm

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Data::Vitals::Underarm is part of the
L<Perl "Vital Statistics" Library|Data::Vitals>.

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

In women, this is used along with L<Data::Vitals::Chest> in one of the two
methods used to determine bra size, particularly nursing bras.

=head2 Taking this Measurement

The underarm measurement is generally taken with a tape measure around the
torso at a position just underneath the arms, while standing straight and
breathing normally. It should be as high as possible while still comfortable.
Do not agressively force the tape into the arm pits.

More information and diagrams are available at
L<http://www.pumpstation.com/frmBraSize-1.cfm>.

=head1 METHODS

Data::Vitals::Underarm is implemented primarily in
L<Data::Vitals::Circumference> and shares all its methods.

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