Waist, waist-height-ratio vs body mass index and the risks of multiple diseases: a cohort study with replication

2025-10-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Importance</h4> Body mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess obesity-related health risks, but waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are thought to better capture central adiposity and associated disease risk. <h4>Objective</h4> To compare the associations of BMI, WC, and WHtR with the risk of 78 incident conditions, multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), and mortality, and to evaluate...
