Prediction of cardiovascular disease risk using waist circumference among Aboriginals in a remote Australian community
BACKGROUND: Elevated waist circumference (WC) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aboriginals in Australia are at higher risk of CVD compared to non-Aboriginals. We examined the association between waist circumference and CVD, and developed a model for projecting absolute r...
