Waistline Indicates Hidden Heart Risk
A study analyzing nearly 260,000 adults over 20 years found that waist measurements and waist-to-hip ratios can better indicate cardiovascular risk than body mass index (BMI). It revealed that individuals with normal or overweight BMI but larger waist sizes faced a 15% to 50% higher risk of heart-related problems and death. Experts emphasize that fat distribution, particularly visceral fat around internal organs, plays a crucial role in health risks beyond BMI alone.
