Enter your waist and hip measurements to calculate your WHR and understand your health risk.
What is waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)?
WHR is a measure of fat distribution in the body. It’s calculated by dividing the circumference of the waist by the circumference of the hips.
Why is WHR important?
WHR is a strong indicator of risk for cardiovascular disease and other health issues. A higher ratio means more fat around the waist, which is linked to higher risk.
What is a healthy WHR?
For women, a WHR below 0.80 is considered low risk. For men, below 0.95 is low risk. The higher the ratio, the greater the risk.
Can I use this calculator if I’m not sure how to measure?
Yes, just use a soft measuring tape. Measure your waist at its narrowest point and hips at the widest part.
