Question

Measuring waist circumference is most useful for predicting chronic health risks in those with central-body obesity.


Group startsTrue or False

Answer 1

True. Measuring waist circumference is an effective method for assessing central body obesity, which is associated with an increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. It provides a better indication of visceral fat, which is more closely linked to these health risks than overall body weight or BMI alone.
