Key result
Waist-to-height ratio cutoffs of 0.51 in men and 0.53 in women optimally identify a Framingham Risk Score ≥10% combined with metabolic syndrome in Chinese individuals.
Why the study?
What is the optimal cutoff value of waist-to-height ratio for predicting cardiovascular risk and metabolic disease in Chinese individuals?
What is the optimal cutoff value of waist-to-height ratio for predicting cardiovascular risk and metabolic disease in Chinese individuals?
A waist-to-height ratio cutoff of 0.51 in men and 0.53 in women may be optimal for evaluating obesity and risk of obesity-related cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in Chinese populations.

May support CV-metabolic risk evaluation in Chinese adults; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
The optimal cutoffs of WHtR are 0.51 in men, and 0.53 in women for FRS≥10% in combination with MS indicating that this WHtR cutoff points might be used as indexes to evaluate obesity and risk of obesity-related diseases.
