	Waist Watcher Beverages
		Waist Watcher was launched 22 years ago as a full flavor line of calorie free soft drinks that were not just a diet version of another regular brand.
		Waist Watcher was designed and formulated to deliver great taste and value that other diets could not match.
		Beginning in 2000, Waist Watcher was one of the first diet soft drinks reformulated to take advantage of a combination of the new artificial sweeteners sucralose (Splenda®) and acesulfame potassium (ace-K).

	Waist Size Predicts Diabetes Risk
		A new study suggests that a man's waist size is a better indicator of type 2 diabetes risk than other currently used measures, such as waist-to-hip ratio and body mass indexbody mass index (BMI, a measure of weight in relation to height).
		At that waist size researchers accurately identified more than 80% of the type 2 diabetes cases that developed in a large group of men followed over 13 years.
		All of the men had their BMI, waist size, and waist-to-hip measurements taken when the study began and were then followed for 13 years.

	Waist Gunner on B-17 Flying Fortress
		The waist windows of the Fortress provided excellent defense stations; however, great skill or good luck was required to obtain strikes on an enemy fighter hurtling past.
		The waist guns were an important defensive feature of the B-17 formations, combining the open lateral areas with a gauntlet of massed firepower.
		On early B-17’s, waist window coverings were on slide rails and had to be opened before combat so the guns could be swung out from their stowed positions.

	Waist-to-hip ratio
		Waist circumference is an indirect indicator of intra-abdominal fat tissue, often called visceral fat.
		A high waist circumference is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease because of excess abdominal fat.
		Waist-to-hip ratio is the waist measurement divided by the hip measurement.

		Interestingly, although in the Metropolitan Life Tables the weight values are proportional to the square of the height (in accordance with the calculation of Quetelet's Index or BMI), in Willoughby's data the weights are proportional to the cube of the height (in accordance with Rohrer's Index).

	Thick waist predicts blood pressure risk: study
		In a new study, people who were obese based on their waist circumference were most likely to develop high blood pressure during the next few years.
		But obesity based on waist circumference was an accurate predictor of future high blood pressure in both women and men, the researchers report in the January issue of the American Journal of Hypertension.
		Although the cardiovascular risk of obesity sometimes declines with age, abdominal obesity - carrying extra pounds around the waist - is a persistent risk factor for heart disease.

	Nutrition Research Newsletter: Trends in waist circumference - Obesity
		Waist circumference is a convenient way of measuring abdominal fat deposition and may be a more useful measure of obesity than BMI is for several reasons.
		First, waist circumference is associated more strongly with risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is as good or better predictor of future risk of the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, CVD and all-cause mortality.
		Although measuring waist circumference correctly requires practice, health care professionals are urged to incorporate waist circumference along with measuring weight and height in their routine practice.

		The circumference of the waist appears to be a better predictor of disease than calculating body fat using weight-to-height or waist-to-hip ratios, researchers have found.
		Men who had a waist size of 40 inches or more were 12 times more likely to develop the type of diabetes in which the pancreas either doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't respond properly to insulin than men with waist sizes of 34 or less.
		With a waist size of 34 to 36, the diabetes risk doubled; at 36 to 38 inches, the risk tripled; and at 38 to 40 inches, the risk for the disease was five times greater.

	Obesity Education Initiative Electronic Textbook--Treatment Guidelines
		Waist circumference measurement is particularly useful in patients who are categorized as normal or overweight on the BMI scale.
		In some populations, waist circumference is a better indicator of relative disease risk than is BMI: examples include Asian Americans or persons of Asian descent living elsewhere (51, 273, 544).
		Waist circumference also assumes greater value for estimating risk for obesity-related disease at older ages.

	Does Waist Size Affect Your Heart?
		Researchers wanted to find out if waist circumference is a more accurate measurement than BMI (body mass index) in determining the risk of heart attack or stroke.
		To reduce their heart-disease risk, men whose waists are at least 39 inches and women whose waists are at least 37 inches should lose weight.
		They found that waist circumference is more closely related to well-known risk factors for heart disease -- such as excess weight, high cholesterol level, and high blood pressure -- than BMI is. The advantage, they say, is that waist measurement takes into account how fat is distributed differently in different people, and BMI does not.

	Waist Circumference Can Signal a Syndrome / June 7, 2004 / News from the USDA Agricultural Research Service
		Volunteers in the "white bread" group consumed about 16 percent of their daily calories as white bread or refined grains, which is almost five times more than was consumed in the "healthy" group.
		While those in the "healthy" cluster gained an average 1/6-inch in waist circumference annually, those in the "white bread" cluster gained close to half an inch annually.
		Abdominal weight gain and corresponding increase in waist circumference contribute more than does overall weight to the development of "metabolic syndrome." This condition is noted by a combination of abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and poor blood sugar control, all of which increase risk for heart disease and diabetes.

		You also need the most comfortable vertical length for serious waist training, that is, one that comes to just under the bosom and goes low enough to cover the tummy.
		The former style, preferred for waist training, is known as an "underbust" hourglass Victorian style.
		"Waist nippers" or short cinchers, about nine inches high or less, are usually too short, causing the tummy fat to squish out from the bottom edge.

	Waist Size Linked To Diabetes Risk In Adult Men
		Compared to those in the group with the smallest waists (29-34 inches), the other groups (34.3-35.9 inches, 36-37.8 inches, 37.9-39.8 inches, 40-62 inches) were 2, 3, 5 and 12 times more likely to develop diabetes, respectively.
		The authors suggest that the currently recommended waist circumference cutoff of 40 inches for men may need to be lowered.
		Men with waist circumference of 40 inches or greater and who also fell into the obese category with a BMI of 30 or greater were at more than twice the risk to get type 2 diabetes as were those who had a high BMI or a high waist circumference alone.

	The Health Report: 15 December 2003 - Waist-hip ratio
		Research from Western Australia suggests that the single most important risk factor for death from a heart attack or stroke, in both men and women is the ratio of your waist circumference to your hip’s.
		So that a male with a waist of greater than 102 centimetres or a female with a waist greater than 88 centimetres may be at risk.
		The waist is measured from the front by an independent observer, and who measures the waist with a horizontal tape in the patient standing relaxed, between the rib cage and the hips, and you measure the minimum diameter between the rib cage and the hips, viewed from the front.

	Waist Size Linked To Diabetes Risk in Adult Men
		“Both BMI and waist circumference are useful tools to assess health risk,” said the study’s lead author, Youfa Wang, PhD, MD, assistant professor with the Center for Human Nutrition at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
		While nearly 80 percent of the men in this cohort who developed type 2 diabetes could be identified using a BMI of 25—the cutoff for overweight—only half (50.5 percent) had a waist circumference greater than or equal to 40 inches—the cutoff recommended by the National Institutes of Health.
		In addition to measuring BMI, the investigators recommend that physicians and researchers measure waist circumference instead of the waist-to-hip ratio because it is a better measure of central obesity for predicting the risk of type 2 diabetes and is subject to fewer measurement errors.
