Sentence examples for distribution waist from inspiring English sources

Swimming has proven to have multiple positive effects in the areas of the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease [6, 7], on cardiorespiratory fitness [8, 9], and on anthropometric measures such as body weight, fat distribution, waist circumference, body mass index [10, 11], and blood pressure [12].

As an additional estimate of body fat distribution, waist circumference was measured as a surrogate of central adiposity.
