Height and weight
When speaking about a person's height and weight, doctors and other medical professionals may use "H&W." For example, after meeting with a patient, a doctor may make a note, "Patient's H&W is disproportionate. Could lead to heart disease and high blood pressure."
Non-medial professionals may also use H&W. For example, your friend may comment on the peculiar appearance of your new dog, "You sure Baxter's h&w are right?" Or, you might post on a fitness forum, "Any tips on balancing out my H&W proportions?"
Example
You want me to pick up dinner for you?
Nah. Trying to eat healthy. Gotta get my h&w more in line
Disappointed reaction to your H&W
