Recent statistics in United Kingdom have pointed to alarmingly large waistlines, especially among those in the midlands, which increases the risk of heart disease.
The largest average waist size in the UK is 36.2 inches, according to recent figures. In West Midlands, the average waistline is at 36.1 and this is equally alarming. Women from the East Midlands have perhaps the most prosperous looking waist at an average of 32.4 inches. Sedentary lifestyles are the root cause of expanding waistlines, experts said.
NHS guidance has warned that wobbly waists elevate risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer. To prevent risk of heart disease, The British Heart Foundation has said that waist size for men should not be bigger than 37 inches and for women not more than 32 inches.
