Body Metrics
Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
Where you carry fat may matter as much as how much you carry. WHR is a simple complement to BMI for cardiometabolic risk.
What your result means
WHO links WHR above 0.90 in men or 0.85 in women to elevated cardiometabolic risk.
How we calculate this
Waist circumference divided by hip circumference.
Limitations
WHR doesn't reflect total adiposity, just distribution. Pair it with BMI or body fat percentage.
