• Waist Circumference and Cardiometabolic Risk (2007, background): “Data from several studies support the notion that WC is an important indicator of diabetes, CHD, and mortality rate, independent of traditional clinical tests, such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipoproteins (7, 26 ).”
• Adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity. (2009, background): “Especially fat accumulation in the intraabdominal visceral depot has been demonstrated as independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes ( Ohlson et al., 1985 , Yusuf et al., 2005 , Basat et al., 2006 , Mori et al., 2005 ).”
• International Day for the Evaluation of Abdominal Obesity (IDEA): A Study of Waist Circumference, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes Mellitus in 168 000 Primary Care Patients in 63 Countries (2007, background): “15,16 It is likely that early intervention to target H A L au t ho r m anu sc r i p t i n s e r m - 0018671 1 , v e r s i on 1 R 8/31 adiposity would have the greatest impact on lifetime manifestations of diabetes and atherosclerosis.”
• Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update. (2013, background): “A large myocardial infarction case/control study, INTER HEART, conducted in a sample of 27,098 participants from 52 countries, showed that WHR and waist circumference were closely tied to risk of myocardial infarction even after adjusting for other risk factors (637).”
• Obesity and socioeconomic status in developing countries: a systematic review (2012, methodology): “The study on China (12) used the Chinese BMI cut-off point of 28 kg m-2 to define obesity in addition to the standard WHO threshold.”
• Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio as predictors of cardiovascular events: meta-regression analysis of prospective studies. (2007, background): “Recently, the INTERHEART study, the world’s largest case–control study of MI, showed that WC and WHR were positively associated with the risk of incident MI and that the strength of association differed significantly between ethnic groups.(50) Our study has several strengths.”
• Health risks associated with overweight and obesity (2007, background): “A combination of systolic and diastolic dysfunction progresses to heart failure (15).”
