Researchers have made a discovery about heart disease risks. They found that certain individuals may have lower risks than initially thought. A study analyzed data from a large group of people over a long period.

The study's findings indicate that waist size may be more important than previously considered. Some people with larger waists face higher heart disease risks, regardless of their weight and height. Further details about the study are available from KXXV, including information about how body mass index relates to cardiovascular health.

The study's results may change how doctors assess heart disease risks in their patients.
