Patterns: For Heart Risk, No Telltale Body Shape

One more time: it is the fat, stupid.
“Whatever your shape is doesn’t really matter,” said Dr. Emanuele Di Angelantonio, a lecturer at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration, which carried out the study.

Lose it.
