Waist 'more important indicator of health risk'
Carrying excess weight around your middle could significantly increase your risk of dying early, new research has found.
Scientists, including some from Imperial College London, looked at 360,000 people from countries across Europe and found that each extra two inches (five centimetres) increased the likelihood of an early death by up to 17 per cent.
A large waist was defined as 47 inches in men and 39 inches in women, while a small waist was 32 and 26 inches in men and women respectively.
The researchers said that looking at waist measurement could be a better indicator of ill health caused by being overweight than the traditional body mass index.
Professor Elio Riboli, from Imperial College London, said he was surprised that the amount of fat around the waist could have such an effect.
"There aren't many simple individual characteristics that can increase a person's risk of premature death to this extent, independently from smoking and drinking," he commented.
Anyone who feels they may be carrying too much weight around their middle is advised to reduce their intake of fatty foods, potentially combining an improvement in their diet with weight loss supplements.
