An adult has body measurements recorded at two health checks.
| Measurement | First health check | Second health check |
|---|---|---|
| BMI | 23.6 | 23.6 |
| waist-to-hip ratio | 0.78 | 0.91 |
A researcher concludes that the adult's risk of developing type 2 diabetes has not changed because their BMI is unchanged.
Explain why the measurements do not support the researcher's conclusion.
