Remember a few years back when they said that those built like and apple were at a higher risk for heart disease? Well, I guess they have changed their minds, or so it seems. Those of us that have big ol’ hips and a small waist, the pears, are at just as much risk as our round friends. I can’t keep up! I feel like they change the parameters every time I turn around. None the less, this is what they found…
Calcium was more likely to be found in the arteries of patients with the greatest waist-to-hip ratio and those with the largest waist-to-hip ratio had a twofold increase in the incidence of calcium deposits — a strong indicator of future cardiovascular issues including heart attacks, reported the study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Personally I am very confused by the data and wording of the research. What do you think about it? Does it make sense to you?
