Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator – FAQs

What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?

+

For men, below 0.90 is considered low risk; for women, below 0.80. Ratios of 0.90–0.99 (men) or 0.80–0.84 (women) are moderate risk, and higher values indicate increased health risk.

Why does waist-to-hip ratio matter?

+

WHR reflects where you carry fat. More fat around the waist (an “apple” shape) is linked to higher cardiovascular and metabolic risk than fat around the hips and thighs.
