Article Synopsis
- This study examines the consistency of waist circumference (WC) measurements taken at four different sites (beneath the rib, above the umbilicus, above the iliac crest, and midway between two sites) and their connections to nutrition and cardiometabolic risk in young individuals.
- Results showed that while all WC measurements were closely related (corr. > 0.93), they varied in size and prevalence of 'overwaist' classification, particularly among females, suggesting measurement site impacts WC interpretation.
- The study concluded that different WC measurement sites correlate well with body mass index (BMI) and percent fat mass (%FM) and share similar associations with cardiometabolic risks, although some specific correlations were stronger for
