As long as the waist circumference of the tested population is within the normal range calculated by the formula, the body mass index is almost within the normal range, and the percentage of waist circumference below or beyond the normal range is basically consistent with the corresponding percentage of body mass index decrease or increase.

It can be monitored and plays an active role in the early prevention of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
