You may be slim but not safe. Doctor reveals 30-second heart attack test that could save your life

A medical expert has cautioned that being slim does not guarantee protection from heart disease, diabetes or metabolic disorders. Speaking to Mirror, Dr Philip Bazire of Doctify explained that many people fall into a metabolically unhealthy normal weight group, appearing thin while carrying hidden abdominal fat and internal dysfunction. He recommends a quick 30 second waist to height ratio test, warning that a result above 0.5 signals rising risk. Doctors stress regular screening, as symptoms are often subtle.
