Waist-to-height ratio outperforms BMI in predicting heart disease risk

Original article: "Waist-to-height ratio and coronary artery calcium incidence: the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)" - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanam/article/PIIS2667-19...
Graziano_M•3mo ago
No way, a measure of fat around your midsection is a better predictor than height and weight, not accounting at all for composition?
snthpy•3mo ago
Idk. At one point I was at 11% body fat and still had BMI over 25. (83kg and 1.82m) I don't think I've ever been BMI < 25.
Graziano_M•3mo ago
I'm agreeing. I'm rather fit, low bodyfat %, and my BMI is about 27
andreareina•3mo ago
This is a meme that fails to understand the actual, in practice limitations of BMI. The problem is that it underdiagnoses obesity, not that it overdiagnoses it. The problem isn't the nonexistent horde of lean muscular people with BMI > 25, it's all the clinically obese people with BMI < 30 thinking that yeah they're overweight but it's not that bad, they're not obese.

kelipso•3mo ago
It's really easy for a healthy man to get BMI >25 with a few months of weight lifting. Frankly, denial and downplaying of this fact just increases skepticism of BMI and the people who say it's a relevant metric.
UltraSane•3mo ago
It doesn't take that much muscle for men to get high BMIs
BugsJustFindMe•3mo ago
They should use skeletal length instead of height to account for spine curvature disorders.
_aavaa_•3mo ago
They should account for the difference between the two to control for comorbidities.
tekla•3mo ago
If you're at the point where waist to height ratio vs BMI is something you debate about, you're already too fat
m463•3mo ago
the lancet article is hard to just read and says it is a better predictor.

I imagine there are people who think they are ok, who are not, but I can't tell if it goes the other way.

andreareina•3mo ago
The problem with BMI in practice is that it underdiagnoses obesity. W:H fixes that. If BMI says you're obese, you're very likely to be obese.

I’ve gained about 15 lbs from my younger days and lost 2” from the waist. Stomach sticks out now, didn’t back then.

So - progress ?!?!

Almost seems saying “floor breaking when stepped on strongly correlated with arterial blockage.”
