Waist-to-Hip Ratio Explained
Waist Circumference
Measure around the smallest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button.
Key indicator of abdominal fat
Hip Circumference
Measure around the widest part of your hips, usually at the buttocks level.
Indicates gluteal fat storage
WHR Formula
Waist-to-Hip Ratio = Waist circumference ÷ Hip circumference
WHR = Waist ÷ Hip
Health Significance
Higher ratios indicate more abdominal fat, which is linked to cardiovascular risks.
Lower WHR = Lower risk
Gender Differences
Women naturally have lower WHR than men. Different risk thresholds apply.
Men: >0.90, Women: >0.85 = risk
Risk Prediction
WHR predicts heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome risk better than BMI alone.
Strong predictor of health outcomes
