9/14/12 So That Is Where The Fat Is ? pr

Studies suggest that health risks begin to increase when a woman's waist reaches 31.5 inches,  and her risk jumps substantially once her waist expands to 35 inches or more.  For a man, risk starts to climb at 37 inches, but it becomes a bigger worry once his waist reaches or exceeds 40 inches.

The International Journal of Obesity suggested that, particularly for young people, the waist-to-height ratio might be a better indicator of overall health risks.  Put simply, your waist should be less that half your height. Hugs,phyllis 05/06/1933   www.women70andover.com
