Disparity in Adiposity among Adults with Normal Body Mass Index and Waist-to-Height Ratio
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The use of WHtR in assessing adiposity supports the notion of normal-weight central obesity (NWCO), which increases with age, and has important implications not only for clinical practice but also for many comparative studies where control subjects are usually selected based on age, sex, and BMI.
