An adult has a mass of 90 kg, a height of 1.80 m, a waist circumference of 99 cm and a hip circumference of 110 cm. Use the equations.
BMI=mass in kg(height in m)2 \text{BMI}=\frac{\text{mass in kg}}{(\text{height in m})^2} BMI=(height in m)2mass in kg waist-to-hip ratio=waist circumferencehip circumference \text{waist-to-hip ratio}=\frac{\text{waist circumference}}{\text{hip circumference}} waist-to-hip ratio=hip circumferencewaist circumferenceA screening programme flags a BMI of at least 30.0 or a waist-to-hip ratio of at least 0.90.
Which statement correctly applies these rules?

Both measurements are flagged; the values are 50.0 and 0.90.
