Figure 1 Association between abdominal obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Subjects in the upper tertile of waist circumference had an increased adjusted relative risk of 29% for cardiovascular (CV) death, 27% for myocardial infarction (MI), and 35% for total mortality, suggesting a strong association between abdominal obesity and CV events. Adapted from Dagenais et al[9]. WC: Waist circumference; CVD: Cardiovascular disease death.
