Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
WHR is one of the strongest single predictors of cardiometabolic risk because it captures where you carry fat — not just how much.

Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?
For men, below 0.90 is low risk. For women, below 0.80 is low risk. WHR is a better visceral-fat signal than BMI alone.
How do I measure correctly?
Waist at the navel after a normal exhale. Hip at the widest point of the buttocks. Use a flexible tape, no sucking in.
WHR or waist-to-height — which is better?
Both work. WHtR has a single 0.5 cutoff across populations. WHR is sex-specific. Use WHtR for simplicity; use WHR for sex-specific cardiometabolic risk.
