...risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or stroke. The problem, as physicians quickly found out, was that body mass includes not just excess body fat but muscle as well. So fit people with dense muscle mass would consistently register as overweight and unhealthy. That led Dr. Jean-Pierre Despres, of Laval University in Quebec, to champion another measure for metabolic health: waist circumference. In a series of recent studies, researchers found that a larger waist circumference is a good indicator for metabolic syndrome, a constellation of physiologic changes that can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
