===Waist circumference===
{{Main|Waist-to-height ratio|Waist-to-hip ratio}}
Waist circumference is a good indicator of [[visceral fat]], which poses more health risks than fat elsewhere. According to the U.S. [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH), waist circumference in excess of {{cvt|1020|mm}} for men and {{cvt|880|mm}} for (non-pregnant) women is considered to imply a high risk for type 2 diabetes, [[dyslipidemia]], [[hypertension]], and [[cardiovascular disease]] CVD. Waist circumference can be a better indicator of obesity-related disease risk than BMI. For example, this is the case in populations of Asian descent and older people. {{cvt|940|mm}} for men and {{cvt|800|mm}} for women has been stated to pose "higher risk", with the NIH figures "even higher".

Waist circumference is a good indicator of visceral fat, which poses more health risks than fat elsewhere. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), waist circumference in excess of 1,020 mm (40 in) for men and 880 mm (35 in) for (non-pregnant) women is considered to imply a high risk for type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease CVD. Waist circumference can be a better indicator of obesity-related disease risk than BMI. For example, this is the case in populations of Asian descent and older people. 940 mm (37 in) for men and 800 mm (31 in) for women has been stated to pose "higher risk", with the NIH figures "even higher".
