Omega-3 Supplements Useful Apparently not Prevent Cardiovascular Disease and Body Mass Index Can Predict Other Diseases - Although useless, says Dariush, consumption of Omega 3 as a dietary supplement, does not cause harmful effects.

Body Mass Index or BMI during this often used as an indicator of obesity risk. But lately, scientists have suggested that BMI is also a pretty accurate detection tool for predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome diseases.

To that end, researchers have examined BMI data, the percentage of fat content, pingggang circumference, and waist-height ratio of the size of the body of 12 294 men and women. After that, the results of all these elements is calculated and how much relation to the metabolic syndrome.

In conclusion, BMI and body fat percentage is the best predictor of high blood pressure to rise. While the ratio of waist circumference and waist-height can predict an increase in fasting blood sugar and erosion of HDL (good cholesterol). The percentage of body fat is also accurate enough to predict an increase in LDL (bad cholesterol).

However, of all the measuring instruments (presentation fat, waist size, and waist-to-height ratio of the size of the body), BMI was able to single predictor is able to predict all such risk factors. "If the BMI showed more than 25, then you should be wary (for increased blood pressure, decreased HDL and increased LDL)," said senior researcher Andrew G. Rundle from Columbia University.
