Slimmer Waistlines Hold Key to Saving Thousands of Lives a Year

Nic Fleming in the Daily Telegraph reports that Dr Ian Campbell, president of the National Obesity Forum, has advised that overweight people who reduce their waistlines by four inches could reduce their chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. A woman with a waist of more than 35in and a man with a waistline of more than 40 in are at greatest risk of metabolic disease like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Delegates at the NOF annual conference in London were told that a survey by the World Heart Federation had shown that 77% of GPs were not aware that abdominal obesity was a risk for both diabetes and heart disease. It is estimated that obesity-related illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, cost the NHS £368 million a year.
