The best metrics are body fat percentage or fat-free mass index.
Do you have a comparison study which included hip/​waist as well as body fat percentage?
I have some doubt that your claim is true because the distribution of the fat seems to be very important eg fat around the hips is far less damaging than fat around the abdomen.
