                    [Summary] => Results from the Shape of the Nations survey reveal that six out of 10 physicians recognize abdominal fat as a significant risk factor for heart disease. 


However, only a few people are aware of the waist size that puts them at risk of heart disease.


The survey was conducted in 27 countries last July among people at risk of heart disease, as well as primary care physicians, to assess knowledge and understanding of the increased risk of heart disease posed by excess abdominal fat. It was conducted to coincide with the World Heart Day celebration last Sept. 25.
