https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4800150/What did the researchers find?
People with normal weight and central obesity had the highest risk for death overall and from cardiovascular disease compared with people without central obesity, regardless of their BMI.
Apparently >0.5 is bad?We have previously investigated adults in the NDNS24 and also in the Health Survey for England,36 and shown that both men and women in the group who have BMI in the ‘healthy’ range, but who have WHtR ≥0.5, have increased cardiometabolic risk factors, not only when they are compared with participants with ‘healthy’ BMI and WHtR <0.5, but even when they are compared with participants classified as overweight by BMI, who have WHtR <0.5.
Thoughts?
