Waist Circumference or Weight in Heart Disease Prediction
A recent study indicates that waist size and the waist-to-hip ratio are better indicators than body mass index (BMI) for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Individuals with a large waist circumference and a high waist-to-hip ratio, even if they have a normal or overweight weight, are 15% to 50% more likely to experience strokes and heart diseases. The findings emphasize the importance of measuring fat distribution alongside BMI, and recommend integrating these measurements into regular health risk assessments.
