What is the Waist to Hip Ratio?
The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator assesses fat distribution. People who carry more weight around their waist (apple shape) are at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes than those with weight around their hips (pear shape).
How to Use This Calculator
1
Measure your waist circumference at the narrowest point.
2
Measure your hip circumference at the widest point.
3
Enter both values in centimeters.
4
Click 'Calculate' to see your ratio and risk level.
Example Calculation
Waist 80cm, Hip 95cm
With a waist of 80cm and hips of 95cm, your WHR is 0.84, which is generally considered low risk.
