About Waist-to-Hip Ratio
The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) compares the circumference of your waist to that of your hips. It’s a simple indicator of fat distribution and a predictor of health risk — especially for cardiovascular disease and metabolic problems. WHR is often used alongside BMI and waist circumference to get a clearer picture of risk.
Typical WHO risk thresholds: Men: low risk <0.90, increased 0.90–0.99, high ≥1.00. Women: low risk <0.80, increased 0.80–0.84, high ≥0.85.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is WHR better than BMI?
A: WHR measures fat distribution (central vs peripheral) and can indicate risk even when BMI is normal.
Q: Do age and gender matter?
A: Yes — men and women have different thresholds and risk increases with age.
Q: How should I measure?
A: Measure waist at the narrowest point (or midline) and hips at the widest point; measure standing, relaxed, and with a tape snug but not compressing skin.
