Scientific research has shown that a high waist circumference (indicating central obesity) is associated with a greater risk of developing diabetes.

 

How to Measure Waist Circumference
Firstly, stand up straight. Using non-elastic measuring tape, you measure the waist circumference directly over the skin. If not possible, the measurement may be taken over light clothing. Measurement is taken horizontally at the midline between the last rib and the iliac crest.
