Figure 1 RR of Cardiovascular Disease According to Anthropometric Indexes
(A) For men, the relative risks (RRs) are adjusted for age, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and parental history of myocardial infarction before the age of 60. Body mass index (BMI) categories: <20.0, 20.0 to 22.4, 22.5 to 24.9, 25.0 to 27.4, 27.5 to 29.9, 30.0 to 34.9, and  35.0 kg/m2. Men's waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) categories: <0.45, 0.45 to <0.49, 0.49 to <0.53, 0.53 to <0.58, 0.58 to <0.62, 0.62 to <0.69, and 0.69. Men's waist circumference (WC) categories: 22.0 to 31.25, 31.5 to 34.25, 34.5 to 37.25, 37.5 to 40.75, 41.0 to 43.5, 43.75 to 48.0, and 48.25 to 62.0 in. Men's waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) categories: <0.83, 0.83 to <0.89, 0.89 to <0.94, 0.94 to <0.99, 0.99 to <1.03, 1.03 to <1.11, and 1.11. (B) For women, the RRs are adjusted for age, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, parental history of myocardial infarction before the age of 60 years, post-menopausal hormone use, race, education, and dietary factors. The BMI categories for women are the same as for men. Women's WHtR categories: <0.42, 0.42 to <0.47, 0.47 to <0.52, 0.52 to <0.57, 0.57 to <0.61, 0.61 to <0.68, and 0.68. Women's WC categories: 20.0 to 27.0, 27.25 to 30.0, 30.25 to 33.25, 33.5 to 36.5, 36.75 to 38.75, 39.0 to 43.75, and 44.0 to 55.0 in. Women's WHR categories: <0.72, 0.72 to <0.77, 0.77 to <0.82, 0.82 to <0.86, 0.86 to <0.89, 0.89 to <0.95, and 0.95.
