A major new study has found that a large waistline may almost double your risk of premature death.
The Europe-wide study, which analysed 359,387 people from nine European countries, found that the risk of premature death was around double for people with a waist in excess of 120cm for men and 100cm for women compared with people with a smaller waist.
For every 5cm increase in waist circumference, a man's mortality risk increased by 17 per cent, while the risk of premature death for a woman rose by 13 per cent.
Professor Elio Riboli, from Imperial College London's department of epidemiology and public health, commented: 'Our study shows that accumulating excess fat around your middle can put your health at risk even if your weight is normal based on body mass index scores.'
The findings are published in the New England Journal of Medicine and add to the growing body of research linking large waistlines with poor health.
According to the charity Diabetes UK, a person faces an elevated risk of diabetes if their waist is 31.5 inches or over for women, 35 inches or over for Asian men, and 37 inches or over for white and black men.
