Waistline May Be Better Predictor Of Heart Disease Than Weight, Study Suggests.

reported that research “involving people with diabetes has shown that belly size is a stronger predictor of a dangerous kind of heart disease than body mass index.” The research included “200 people with diabetes who had not shown any symptoms of heart disease.” Investigators “found that those with larger waist circumferences were more likely than smaller-bellied people to have problems with the heart’s left ventricle.” The findings were presented at a cardiology conference. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/waist-size-strongly-predicts-heart-disease-risk-study-111827743.html
