ImportanceBody mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess obesity-related health risks, but waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are thought to better capture central adiposity and associated disease risk. ObjectiveTo compare the associations of BMI, WC, and WHtR with the risk of 78 incident conditions, multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), and mortality, and to evaluate whether waist-based measures improve risk identification over BMI and, if so, over which BMI range.
