88 cm = approx 35"

so this could quite feasibly be the chest measurement/circumference

Have found a decent reference now

HC = head circumference
CC = chest circumference

Hi Robert
I changed the glossary entry, purely because I had to put it in my own personal Spanish - English glossary, so hope this is OK.
Peer comment(s):

agree Maria Assunta Puccini : Exacto: perímetro cefálico // perímetro torácico - As far as I can see, you are right : ))
