The Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator is a valuable tool for assessing your body shape and understanding health risks associated with fat distribution. By calculating the ratio of your waist to hip circumference, you can evaluate your risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or Alzheimer's disease.

Why is Waist-Hip Ratio Important?

Health Risk Indicator:
- A higher waist-to-hip ratio is linked to increased health risks, particularly for those with "apple-shaped" bodies (more fat around the waist) compared to "pear-shaped" bodies (more fat around the hips).
Obesity Measure:
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), abdominal obesity is defined as:
- Men: Waist-to-hip ratio > 0.90
- Women: Waist-to-hip ratio > 0.85
Alternative Measures of Obesity:
Absolute waist circumference:
- Men: Above 40 inches (102 cm)
- Women: Above 35 inches (88 cm)

How to Measure Waist and Hips

Accurate measurements are crucial for reliable results. Here’s how:

Waist Measurement:
- Use a stretch-resistant tape.
- Measure at the midpoint between the last palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest (hip bone).
- Practically, this is often the smallest circumference of the natural waist, just above the belly button.
Hip Measurement:
- Wrap the tape around the widest portion of your buttocks.
- Ensure the tape is parallel to the floor.

How to Use the Calculator

Measure your waist circumference at its narrowest point.
Measure your hip circumference at its widest point.
Input these measurements into the calculator.

How we Calculate the Waist to Hip Ratio

The formula is simple:

Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) = Waist Circumference ÷ Hip Circumference

Example Calculation:

If your waist is 28 inches (71 cm) and your hips are 35 inches (89 cm):
WHR = 28 ÷ 35 = 0.80

What’s a Healthy Waist to Hip Ratio?

Health risk	Women (WHR)	Men (WHR)
Low	0.95 or lower	0.80 or lower
Moderate	0.96-1.0	0.81-0.85
High	0.86 or higher	1.0 or higher
