Body Mass Index

[sraj]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

 2010 study that followed 11,000 subjects for up to eight years concluded that BMI is not the most appropriate measure for the risk of heart attack, stroke or death. A better measure was found to be the waist-to-height ratio.^[48] A 2011 study that followed 60,000 participants for up to 13 years found that waist–hip ratio was a better predictor of ischaemic heart disease mortality.^[49]

Hello List,

Let us examine which measure is likely to be most useful for correcting USE. The choice is between:

BMI (Body Mass Index)

WHR  (Waist-to-Hip-Ratio)

WHtR (Waist-to-Height-Ratio)

I would select WHR (from the female perspective). Just one step away from an "hourglass" figure, 36-24-36. The problem is how do we achieve it :-(
