Abstract

BACKGROUND: Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has been suggested as a better screening tool than body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) for assessing cardiometabolic risk. However, most previous studies did not consider age. METHODS AND RESULTS: Participants were 45,618 men and 8,092 women ag...
