Answer:

calculating waist-to-hip ratio

Explanation:

The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is the calculation from waist and hip measurements to ascertain a person's risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This is because, the higher the concentration of abdominal fat, the greater the risk of having problems such as high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure or atherosclerosis.

The presence of these diseases along with excess fat in the abdominal region of the body also increases the risk of more serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke and fat in the liver, which can lead to sequelae or lead to death. To identify early on, know what are the symptoms of infarction.
