Comparison of abdominal adiposity and overall obesity in predicting risk of type 2 diabetes among men. (2005, background): “For example, the Iowa Women’s Health Study, a 12-y prospective cohort study of 31 702 Iowa women aged 55–69 y who were free of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes at baseline, indicated that WHR is a better anthropometric predictor of total mortality than are BMI and WC (16).”
Metabolic syndrome and development of diabetes mellitus: application and validation of recently suggested definitions of the metabolic syndrome in a prospective cohort study. (2002, background): “Although the waist-hip ratio may carry information relevant to disease endpoints independently of waist girth or body mass index (10), waist circumference correlates better with visceral fat deposits as measured by computerized tomography (11).”
Obesity in older adults: technical review and position statement of the American Society for Nutrition and NAASO, The Obesity Society. (2005, neutral): “However, no increased cardiovascular disease risk was observed in obese older women in some (48, 66), but not all (67), studies.”
European guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice: executive summary: Fourth Joint Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and Other Societies on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice (Constituted by representatives of nine societies and by invit (2007, neutral): “The association between increasing WC or WHR and the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors or the metabolic syndrome has been shown in many cross-sectional studies.(57) There is no consistent information on which of these anthropometric measures is superior.”
