Cardiovascular risk markers there are many, but among the most used of the scientifically proven we are waist circumference, as well as the index of waist-hip.
However, a recent study says that the index of waist-height is the best indicator of cardiovascular risk, as it can be used with equal validity in both sexes and any age range.
To determine this is only necessary to divide the waist circumference by the height in centimeters. If you get a result greater than 0.5 , the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with localized fat in the abdomen is high.
The index has shown a good correlation with the cardiovascular risk and in addition, if we pause to analyze the same, it seems logical to think that it is not the same of risky have a waist of 70 cm to who measured 1.50 meters for those who measured 1.80 meters in height.
Therefore, we could be facing a new and more effective indicator of cardiovascular risk, easy to measure and determine.
