Waist, not weight, key to long life Putting on the pounds around stomach is short cut to a premature death By Jeremy Laurance, Health Editor Thursday, 13 November 2008 People with a large waist had twice the risk of dying prematurely compared with people who had slender waists The size of your waist is a more important determinant of health than your weight, doctors have found. --Clip-- The problem is greatest among men. The typical British male has an apple shape, his stomach bulging over his trousers, whereas women tend to the traditional pear shape as they age with weight accumulating on hips and legs. A pear shape is healthier than an apple shape but women's waists are growing, turning them from pears to apples, John Kane Kingston ON Canada |
