Are You at Risk of a Heart Attack?

Just saw this program on TV: thought it was interesting, and wish to share it with everyone. Now, what is the easiest way to measure whether you are at risk of a heart attack? According to this guy, there is a simple formula to this.

You measure your waist size (I presume the tip of your belly; in my case: my growing ugly spare tyres) and hip size (the widest part of ur hips; in my case, the part where your jeans cling on to or else it will slip off). Then, you devide your waist size with your hips size. After that you get a number. If the number is below 0.9, then you are apparently risk free. The higher the number, then the higher your risk of a heart attack. So, if your reading states 1.8, then it means your twice the chance of risking a heart attack.

My reading states I'm slightly at risk. I know. I haven't been exercising at all and have been eating like a pig! My sister have been addicted to going to gym ahd she is well under 0.9. DAMMIT! I have to start organising a proper time table which includes time for exercise! GANBATE!
