In this video, Dr. K K Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India and Group Editor in Chief MEDtalks, will talk on abdominal obesity. The abdominal circumference is measured by a measuring tape at the level of iliac crest. If it is more than 102 cm in men and 88 cm in women internationally and more than 90 cm in men and 80 cm in women in India then it is abdominal obesity or central adiposity. He will further discuss about the lifestyle disorders caused by abdominal obesity.
