vital stats
Essential personal data
Vital stats is short for vital statistics—originally the official records of births, deaths, and marriages in a population.
The phrase now commonly refers to a person's key physical measurements, especially a woman's bust, waist, and hip dimensions: The modeling agency asked for her vital stats.
