Obesity and Risk of Death

Enlightening - they can't even agree on how to measure waist circumference.

"A challenging issue with the study reported on by Pischon et al. (Nov. 13 issue) is where to measure the waist."

Another good reason to stick with the BMI (Body Mass Index).

BTW, if they aren't sure how to measure the waist, imagine how good they are at doing the hard stuff.
