Where you carry your weight could be as important, if not more important, that how much you weigh. That's what British researchers say. They point to a study released about thick waists which shows that a thick waist almost doubles the risk of a premature death. This is not the first study to come to such a solution. The other key point is researchers found excess fat stored around the middle of the body was a major health risk, even when people are not considered obese or even overweight by statistical BMI standards. As I mentioned, this is not the first study to make this implication and I think it brings up a very interesting point. Physicians might consider routinely measuring patients' waists as well as their BMI on a routine office visit. If you carry too much weight in the waist, diet and exercise are equally effective as they are for people who carry excess weight somewhere else.
