New research out of Latin America suggests that anxiety is higher in women with larger waist to height ratios. They studied 5,580 women with a mean age of 49.7 years. 58 percent were postmenopausal, and 61.3 percent reported anxiety issues. This is a no brainer and I don’t think they actually needed a study. When you look at the age and consider menopause, of course the risk for anxiety goes up. Furthermore, smaller waist size usually indicates a more active lifestyle. We all know that exercise decreases anxiety. This study only confirms that we already know, hormone balance and exercise curb anxiety, as well as keep your body lean.
