Do not underestimate the continued widening waistlines. Although the ideal body weight, waist size that exceeds the normal threshold will increase health risks like heart disease and diabetes.
University of Alberta study concluded, waist circumference (WC) is a strong detection of factors related to long-term health. Detection of disease through waist size is even considered more effective than through the measurement of body mass index.
"Waist circumference was very vital," says Arya Sharma, professor of cardiovascular obesity research at the University of Alberta, as published Indian Express. "Measuring waist circumference should be part of physical examinations of patients."
Why waist size becomes very important for health? WC is a multidimensional measure of abdominal fat, which is right in the 'factory' of chemicals that cause disease.
Abdominal fat serves as an organ that produces dozens of chemicals that will slowly become toxic when produced in excess. Pathological secretion would lead to high blood pressure, blood clotting, stress, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes and heart attacks.
In the United States, doctors took the MRI images to accurately measure abdominal fat. This is to distinguish that waist circumference is not always the same size pants. How to measure waist exactly is in the abdomen just below the navel.
American Heart Association states, a person's health status can be measured by waist size. Waist circumference thresholds for Caucasian men 39 inches (99 cm) and Caucasian women 35 inches (88.9 cm). A man of South Asia is considered to be obese if waist circumference over 35 inches (88.9 cm), Chinese men 33 inches (84 cm) and male Mediterranean 37 inches (94 cm).
Professor Arya suggest any medical examination, ask also request waist measurement. Waist size exceeds the threshold indicates an increased risk of developing chronic diseases.
