This review aims to assess current of Manchester, University Place Block 3 (Room 1.310), Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK findings on the prospective association between body fat distribution measures and Tel: +44 161 2751137; fax: +44 161 2755205; coronary heart disease in men and women. e-mail: [email protected] Recent findings Current Opinion in Cardiology 2008, 23:591– Current epidemiologic evidence suggests that waist circumference and waist–hip ratio, as indicators of abdominal adiposity, are positively related to coronary heart disease in men and women independently of body mass index and conventional coronary heart disease risk factors. But the magnitude and shape of the associations for these abdominal adiposity indices varied with adjustments for mediating and confounding factors. Interestingly, hip waist circumference was inversely associated with coronary heart
