The conflict “aftermath”

NEJM - 0.48 kg (+/-2.2) gained and carried until the following fall

CDC –highest bracket to be obese 45-64

CDC –average weight now compared to 1960s up 20lbs

NHLBI –with a normal BMI, increased waist circumference = disease

NHLBI

Evidence Statement: Sex-specific cutoffs for waist circumference can be used to identify increased risk associated with abdominal fat in adults with a BMI in the range of 25 to 34.9 kg/m2. An increase in waist circumference may also be associated with increased risk in persons of normal weight. Evidence Category C.

Waist circumference cutpoints can generally be applied to all adult ethnic or racial groups. On the other hand, if a patient is very short (under 5 feet) or has a BMI above the 25 to 34.9 kg/m2 range, waist cutpoints used for the general population may not be applicable. Evidence Category D.

Consider specialty second opinions (sleep, cardio, ortho, pmr….)
