The obvious thing if you do the assessment is that your risk goes up with many things over which you have no control – age, sex, family history. There is one parameter that dramatically increases your risk – waist measurement. This is the one that you have total control over. Do the assessment, tell me what you think of it by feeding back on the comment button below.
