International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk 2(1), 23-30:"The World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended definition for obesity is 25% body fat in men and 35% body fat in women...current BMI criteria miss over half the people who would be categorized as "obese"..."

N Engl J Med 359:2105–2120: "..data suggest that both general adiposity and abdominal adiposity are associated with the risk of death and support the use of waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio in addition to BMI in assessing the risk of death."

Our study shows that NWO is significantly associated with cardiometabolic dysregulation and a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome... similar to the prevalence of metabolic syndrome described in overweight subjects."

The values were most closely related with the percentage of body fat." ,Sawdah Jakda 22:41, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

International Journal of Obesity 27: 1141–1151 '...the location of body fat has emerged as an important predictor of the health hazards of obesity. Sites of body fat predominance are easily measured by the ratio of waist-to-hip circumferences. High ratios are associated with higher risks for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or their associated risk factors.1 The genetic heritability of the central obesity phenotype accounts for about 30–50% of the age- and gender-adjusted phenotypic variances.'
