Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
Calculate your waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and assess your risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
What Is Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)?
WHR compares your waist circumference to your hip circumference. It's a simple but powerful indicator of health risk — fat stored around the waist (visceral fat) is more dangerous than fat stored around the hips.
Health Risk Categories
The WHO defines risk thresholds: men with WHR > 0.90 and women with WHR > 0.85 are at increased risk. These thresholds are based on large-scale studies linking abdominal fat to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
