The health ministry wants people suffering from hypertension and abnormal blood sugar levels to receive comprehensive health guidance even if they are not obese or do not have metabolic syndrome, according to an interim report released Wednesday.
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, which will ask business operators and municipal governments to provide the guidance, will maintain obesity standards of abdominal circumferences of 85 centimeters and over for men and 90 centimeters and over for women.
