According to the survey, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase obviously in people with excessive waist circumference.
At the same time, experts suggest that China people's body mass index (BMI), that is, weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m), should be determined to be less than 24, and if it exceeds 24, it should be considered overweight, and the obesity BMI should be determined to be 28. A large number of data have confirmed that controlling the body mass index below 24 can prevent more than 38% of hypertension and more than 33% of diabetes, and can prevent 8% and 29% of coronary heart disease and 8% and 22% of stroke in men and women respectively. However, more than 90% of obese people with body mass index above 28 were found to have abnormal risk factors. Controlling obesity can reduce the risk of male and female diseases by 14.7% and 17.7% respectively.
