Beyond Single Anthropometric Measures: Integrating Waist Circumference and Body Mass Index to Stratify Obesity-Related Health Risk.

Current obesity reports - 23 Jun 2026

Ross Robert, Janssen Ian, Després Jean-Pierre

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Waist circumference (WC) in combination with body mass index (BMI) provides unique opportunities to capture the heterogeneous nature of obesity and identify phenotypes that convey the greatest health risk. This review summarizes evidence supporting global recognition that WC and BMI should be routinely documented in health care. Differences in risk stratification when WC and BMI are used in...
