The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has revealed a simple test you can take at home to find out if a person is at risk of heart disease.
She explained, a BMI of 25 or higher usually means that you may be overweight.
She added: “Excess weight around your midsection increases your risk of heart and circulatory disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke. Typically, your health is at ‘increased’ risk if you are a man with a waist greater than 94cm, or a woman with a waist of more than 94cm.” 80 cm.
To measure your waist, follow these instructions:
Find the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips.
Place a tape measure around your midsection at a point halfway between them – this will be just above your belly button.
Make sure it is pulled tightly and does not penetrate your skin.
Exhale normally and take the measurement.
Take the measurement again just to be sure.
