BMI Not The Best Measure Of Obesity: Study
Views and Posts by youngneill and kiwi kimmy
The WHtR should not be confused with the Waist–hip ratio (WHR), which has also been used to measure body fat distribution.
A 2010 study that followed 11,000 subjects for up to eight years concluded that WHtR is a much better measure of the risk of heart attack, stroke or death than the more widely used body mass index.
Conversely, WHtR was not a predictor for new-onset diabetes melitus in at least one study.
For people under 40, a WHtR of over 0.5 is critical; for people in the age group between 40 and 50 the critical value is between 0.5 and 0.6, and for people over 50 the critical values start at 0.6.
