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...

No way, a measure of fat around your midsection is a better predictor than height and weight, not accounting at all for composition?

BugsJustFindMe•1h ago

They should use skeletal length instead of height to account for spine curvature disorders.

They should account for the difference between the two to control for comorbidities.

If you're at the point where waist to height ratio vs BMI is something you debate about, you're already too fat

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.
