What is Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR)?

The Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) is a measure of body shape that relates your waist circumference to your hip circumference. It's used to assess potential health risks associated with where fat is stored in your body.

Interpreting Your Results

For Females:

• WHR ≤ 0.80: Healthy
• 0.80 < WHR ≤ 0.85: At Risk
• WHR > 0.85: Obesity

For Males:

• WHR ≤ 0.90: Healthy
• 0.90 < WHR ≤ 0.95: At Risk
• WHR > 0.95: Obesity

Important Notes

The Waist to Hip Ratio is an indicator of body fat distribution and potential health risks. It's most accurate when measurements are taken correctly:

• Waist measurement: Around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your hip bones.
• Hip measurement: Around the widest part of your hips, typically at the level of your buttocks.
• Measurements should be taken while standing and relaxed, using a tape measure parallel to the floor.
