Big thighs - Healthy heart?

[Abz1982]

Good news for me if its true! I have big thighs, even when slim and when I am/was at I had a very good blood pressure and overall health etc, so it could be true

Interesting. From the news article though it's not clear if the circumference being from fat or muscle mass makes a difference. I'd have thought a huge fat thigh with little muscle would not be better!

Anyway I think they are missing a trick, clearly the strongest indicator of risk is being a man!

During this time, 257 men and 155 women died, 263 men and 140 women developed cardiovascular disease and 103 men and 34 women suffered from heart disease.
