Obesity and cardiovascular disease. Aspects of methods and susceptibility.
… fat distribution as measured by waist hip ratio (WHR) was associated with increased CVD risk. WHR added to the CVD risk in women at all levels of BMI and in men with normal weight. It is concluded that the susceptibility to CVD in obese people differs substantially according to subsets of other …
