NEWS, RESEARCH AND TIPS THAT CAN
MAKE YOU HEALTHIER STARTING TODAY

BY MONIQUE CURET

How to Measure
Your Waist
Start at the top of
your hip bone and
wrap a tape measure
around your body,
level with your belly
button.
Make sure the tape
measure is straight all
the way around.
Don't hold your
breath.

WHEN YOUR WAISTLINE EXPANDS, your clothes aren't the only things getting bigger. The risk of death from any cause rises by 12 percent for women
and 8 percent for men for each 10-centimeter (3.94-inch) increase in
waist circumference, according to a study in the journal The BMJ.
The research analyzed 72 studies of more than 2.5 million people. It took
into account measures of weight around the belly, including
waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height
ratio and waist-to-thigh ratio.
Deeper belly fat, called visceral fat, is dangerous
because it accumulates around abdominal organs and
has strong links to serious illnesses, including heart
disease, cancer and dementia.

To maintain good
health, a woman's
waist should be less
than 35 inches and
a man's less than
40 inches.
