“…Waist or waist-to-hip ratio has been used as a proxy measure for body fat distribution when investigating the health risk associated with obesity. Abdominal obesity has been reported as a risk factor for CVD world wide and is likely refine the clinical assessment of obesity risk 1 11 16 – 18. Waist circumference measurements are not recommended routinely in children since reference values for children that identify risk over and above the risk from BMI category are not available 4…”

“…It seems from the data available that there is no basis for choosing thresholds because the mortality rate ratio increased steadily with WC. Nevertheless, from a clinical viewpoint, both indices should probably be assessed and may produce a better definition of “at-risk” obesity,11 34 since recognition and management of obesity after an acute coronary syndrome is simply inadequate 6 35…”

“…Si l'on inclut les deux sous-populations dans un même essai clinique de prévention ou d'intervention, le mélange des deux effectifs (comparer des « pommes » et des « poires ») risque de rendre l'interprétation des données très problématique [34]. Par ailleurs, si les médecins praticiens et les patients sont de mieux en mieux informés quant au risque associé à l'obésité abdominale [35] et à l'importance de corriger l'adiposité viscérale pour améliorer le pronostic cardiovasculaire [3,36], les recommandations concernant la prise en charge des personnes avec un profil MHO sont quasi inexistantes.…”

“…In fact, excess weight and adiposity indices are not evaluated routinely in a real-life cardiology practice. 13,14 In this context, BMI and WC might both prove useful to clinical practice simply to make clinicians aware of the presence of obesity.…”
