Waist-to-height ratio (visceral-fat proxy) — Lausanne, Switzerland.

Lausanne, Switzerland is the headquarters of Frontiers Media -- founded 2007, publishes 230+ open-access journals -- which publishes Frontiers in Nutrition, the exact journal this standard's own NHANES trend citation (Yang et al. 2023) appeared in, confirmed via WebFetch to Wikipedia. No honesty-limit caveat needed: Frontiers Media is the direct publisher of the citation's own journal. Distinct from the existing San Antonio tile, which is built on that city's own large Mexican-American population and the San Antonio Heart Study's real local insulin-resistance findings rather than the citation's publishing house. Visceral fat drives cardiometabolic aging, and BMI misses it. Waist-to-height ratio -- 'keep your waist under half your height' -- is a zero-cost measure that tracks visceral risk better than BMI and gives a clear target.

Pay

$160 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Standing height (cm) + waist at the mid-rib/iliac landmark on exhale (replicated within 1 cm) + computed WHtR vs the 0.5 boundary + tape-position photo

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• non-stretch tape measure
• stadiometer or wall-mounted height measure
• log sheet

Steps

1. 1. Measure standing height (cm) without shoes, heels together, looking straight ahead.
2. 2. Measure waist circumference (cm) at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the iliac crest, at the end of a normal exhale, tape snug not compressing.
3. 3. Take waist twice; if the two differ by >1 cm, take a third and average.
4. 4. Compute WHtR = waist / height.
5. 5. Compare to the 0.5 boundary (and 0.6 higher-risk boundary).
6. 6. Photograph the tape position (with consent) and log height, waist, WHtR; sign it.

What counts as done

• Height (cm, no shoes) and waist (cm) at the standardized mid-rib/iliac-crest landmark
• Waist replicated within 1 cm or averaged
• WHtR computed and compared to the 0.5 boundary

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
