Does the lower belly measurement matter for health or is it just waist that matters?

they are both important, they are used to determine the distribution of fat
I have a tight waist but my lower belly is a bit over, I have love handles and small
lifesaver of fat

[yykristina]

but for health i think the waist measurement is more important cause doctors always measure the waist

[Mpodere]

yes maybe that's more important. Body fat percentage is the most useful thing to calculate if you are overweight. do you know your fat mass?

I say just the waist.
