  • WHt ratio was calculated by dividing waist (cm) by height (cm)
  • nverse relationships of BMI and WC with TT and cFT have been previously documented in unselected cohorts of adult men
  • over the age of 54 years
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • adjusting WC for height (WHt ratio) improves the prediction of TT and cFT compared with either BMI or WC alone
  • there were inverse correlations between cFT, TT and either BMI or WC
  • for each unit increase in BMI, there was a 2% fall in TT and cFT
  • for each 10 cm increment in WC, TT and cFT levels declined by 7%.
  • The magnitude of this relationship between increasing BMI and decreasing TT is similar to that described in the Massachusetts Male Ageing Study
