The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has acknowledged the value of
waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as an indicator for 'early health risk'. We used recent UK data to …

Objective To provide the latest evidence of performance and robustness of waist-to-height
ratio (WHtR) in discriminating clusters of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) and promote …

Background As an indicator of abdominal obesity, waist circumference (WC) varied with race
