The idea
A waist larger than the anatomical base plus elevated triglycerides means fat is spilling into places it should not be, around organs and inside muscle. The product of the two exaggerates that signal deliberately.
Understanding your result
- Under 30 reflects low visceral lipid accumulation
- 30 to 60 is moderate
- Above 60 marks high accumulation and elevated cardiometabolic risk
Why sex specific bases
The formula subtracts 65 cm for men and 58 cm for women, approximating the minimum healthy waist, so only excess waist contributes.
Improving it
Both terms respond to the same habits, namely weight loss, less alcohol and refined carbohydrate, and regular aerobic work.
