[QUOTE="SWUSA_, post: 1284230, member: 337910"] I got two main points from the article above: This is a quote from the article "Dr Margaret Ashwell, an independent consultant and former science director of the British Nutrition Foundation, explained at the 19th Congress on Obesity in Lyon, France, May 2012, that [URL='http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/245328.php']waist-to-height ratio is a superior predictor than BMI[/URL]7 of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Ashwell said "Keeping your waist circumference to less than half your height can help increase life expectancy for every person in the world." Thus a 6ft-tall man should have a waist circumference of 36 inches or less, while a 5ft 4in woman's waist should not exceed 32 inches." -Apple body shape, which I have is not healthy. I am overweight by any measure. The second point is illustrated in my next post by a photo from the article. [/QUOTE]
