Question 16

Easy

Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) is a simple and effective anthropometric measure used to assess abdominal obesity and the risk of developing obesity-related non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Table 1 shows information about two participants, A and B, participating in a health screening study.

Participant	Waist circumference (cm)	Height (cm)	WHtR
A	76	175	0.434
B	97	168	Z

A graph showing Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) categories for adults.

What is the health risk category for participant A?

[1]

Calculate the value of Z in Table 1 using the following equation: $circumferenceheight\text{WHtR} = \frac{\text{waist circumference}}{\text{height}}$ Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
