A new method of measuring your waist to height ratio may be a good determinant of weather or not you could be at cardiovascular risk. Researchers said if a patient has a waist measuring over half their height, there was a much greater risk that they were at risk for cardiovascular problems. Researchers also said that BMI alone was not a very good determinant of health, but using it together with waist to height ratios could provide a better look at health.
