A new 30-second waist-to-height ratio test helps identify risk for heart disease and diabetes.

A new 30-second test recommended by health experts can help individuals gauge if they are at risk for health issues due to excess weight. By measuring waist circumference and comparing it to half of one's height, people can quickly assess their risk for conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. This waist-to-height ratio is simpler to understand than BMI and specifically targets abdominal fat, which is linked to higher health risks.
