About what it is to be human waist ideally reflect not only the people who want to lose weight, but also doctors. Now, a series of formulas that allow to calculate the ideal proportions of the human body, has expanded another. Morio Morales A scientist from the Institute of weight loss, which in the US St. Louis, recently offer of calculating allowable waist in a new way. He believes that the length of the waist of a healthy person should be no more than half of its growth.

According to Morales, a man who has a height 168 cm, waist should be no more than 84 cm. If these proportions are not respected, and waist exceeds this figure, we can talk about the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases . At the same time, the people who suffer obesity and, accordingly, the length of the waist is 80% growth, and greater risk of premature death. Moreover, their life may be shorter than 17 years.

With the help of these calculations are available for each person, you can easily make sure that not too much weight recruited, and to prevent so many serious diseases. Because of the size and the level depends on the waist Blood Pressure And the risk of stroke .

Until now, in order to assess the likelihood of heart and vascular diseases, depending on the weight, to use so called BMI. To calculate an index, weight in kilograms should be divided by height in meters squared. According to scientists, people with an average BMI that is 25 to 30, showed the greatest resistance to a number of diseases and stress. However, when calculating the body mass index overlooked the fact that different people have very different types of shapes. If the weight of them are the same, the result obtained distorted results. Therefore, the results of new research indicate that the focus on the waist size in this case is more properly.

By the way, recently announced by the results of a long study, which for nine years, the American Cancer Society conducted to confirm the connection waist size and early death. The study involved about 100 thousand people. During the experiment died about 5000 women and 9000 men. Scientists have studied their options and have concluded that the higher risk of dying earlier in men, waist which has more than 120 cm and women with a waist circumference that exceeds 100 cm. In this case, the risk of dying early celebrated, and those people who We had a normal BMI, but a large waist.

The fact that the waist is increased as in some of the major diseases and obesity in type, which is characterized by an increase in the adipose tissue of the abdominal cavity.
