You can get an idea of whether or not you are at risk of obesity-related chronic diseases by measuring your waist circumference.
For men, a waist circumference of 94 centimetres or more indicates an increased risk of chronic disease and a measurement of 102 centimetres or more indicates a higher increased risk of chronic disease.
For women, a waist circumference of 80 centimetres or more indicates an increased risk of chronic disease and a measurement of 88 centimetres or more indicates a higher increased risk of chronic disease.
These measurements apply only to adults, not to children. They also do not apply to pregnant women or people from certain non-European backgrounds, who may have different body shapes.
Generally, the larger your waist circumference, the higher your risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
