Answer 2

I believe the answer is: B. waist to hip ratio because it is not specific but helps determine weight distribution

Waist to hip ratio is obtained by dividing the length of your waist circle with the length of your hips circle.

Even though it's true that this ratio might influence the chance of some type of diseases, the distribution of weight is usually affected by genetics, so there is not much that people can do about it.
