量量你的腰圍--它比BMI指數更重要

BMI一直是健康指數的金標準。但Mayo Clinic 3月14日發布的60萬人的新研究說: 腰圍更重要。

男性腰圍大於43英寸的，比小於35的人死亡風險提高50%，約折減40歲後三年的平均壽命。女性腰圍大於37英寸的，比小於27的死亡風險提高80%，約折減40歲後五年的平均壽命。這個風險即便BMI正常也一樣不變。量量自己的腰圍吧。尤其是我們女性，為健康為美麗，時刻保持小蠻腰~.~

The researchers pooled data from 11 different cohort studies, including more than 600,000 people from around the world. They found that men with waists 43 inches or greater in circumference had a 50 percent higher mortality risk than men with waists less than 35 inches, and this translated to about a three-year lower life expectancy after age 40. Women with a waist circumference of 37 inches or greater had about an 80 percent higher mortality risk than women with a waist circumference of 27 inches or less, and this translated to about a five-year lower life expectancy after age 40.

“BMI is not a perfect measure,” says Dr. Cerhan. “It doesn’t discriminate lean mass from fat mass, and it also doesn’t say anything about where your weight is located. We worry about that because extra fat in your belly has a metabolic profile that is associated with diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.”

“The primary goal should be preventing both a high BMI and a large waist circumference,” Dr. Cerhan says. “For those patients who have a large waist, trimming down even a few inches — through exercise and diet — could have important health benefits.”
