Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator

Waist-to-hip ratio from waist and hip measurements.

Worth Knowing

Waist-to-hip ratio is a quick proxy for where you store fat, and that location matters — abdominal (visceral) fat is more strongly linked to cardiovascular and metabolic risk than fat carried on the hips and thighs. The World Health Organization flags elevated risk above roughly 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women. Because it's a ratio, it can stay flat even as you lose weight overall, so track the raw waist measurement alongside it for a clearer trend.

How to Use
