متن کاملWaist to height ratio as a predictor of abdominal fat distribution in men.
The accumulation of fat in visceral (VA) and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SA) is highly correlated with the metabolic abnormalities that contribute to increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of the study was to determine which of the four indices-waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BM...
