Two men of the same age have a fitness assessment for a physically demanding job.
The table shows information from the assessment.
| Person | BMI | waist-to-hip ratio | regular exercise |
|---|---|---|---|
| J | 27.2 | 0.81 | weight training five times a week |
| K | 27.0 | 0.94 | none |
An assessor wrote:
"The BMIs are almost the same, so J and K have the same risk of cardiovascular disease. Their waist-to-hip ratios do not provide useful information."
