The(translation) gives the generalization to a convex bodies in $\mathbf R^n$ reads $$\dfrac S{\omega_n}\leqslant\left(\dfrac D2\right)^{n-1}$$ where $D=$ diameter, $S=$ measure of boundary,body $\omega_n=$ measure of the$K\subset\mathbf R^n$ as $$ \mathrm{vol}(\partial K)\leqslant \omega_n\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{diameter}(K)}2\right)^{n-1} $$ where $(n-1)$-sphere$\omega_n=\mathrm{vol}(S^{n-1})=2\pi^{n/2}\,/\,\Gamma(\frac n2)$.

Bonnesen and Fenchel’s Theorie der konvexen Körper (1934, (6) p. 77) (translation) gives the generalization to a convex body $K\subset\mathbf R^n$ as $$ \mathrm{vol}(\partial K)\leqslant \omega_n\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{diameter}(K)}2\right)^{n-1} $$ where $\omega_n=\mathrm{vol}(S^{n-1})=2\pi^{n/2}\,/\,\Gamma(\frac n2)$. They seem to attribute it (p. 107) to Kubota (1925), with the planar case $n=2$ already in Blaschke (1915) and Rosenthal-Szász (1916).
