Every excess inch on your waistline could lead to an 11 percent increase in heart failure risk, a new study has warned.
The research, which was carried out on more than 400,000 people over a 13-year-period, suggests the excess fat around your waistline should be more of a concern than the number on a scale.
Looking at adults who are between were between the ages of 40 and 70, the researchers found that waist circumference was one of the main risk factors for heart events.
