Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator

Use a stretch-resistant measuring tape. Measure the perimeter between your last rib and the top of your iliac crest. Alternatively, measure the smallest circumference of your waist above your belly button.

Measure around the widest part of your hips using a measuring tape. Once you have both measurements, use a waist-to-hip calculator to determine the ratio.

Follow these steps:

1. Select your gender
2. Enter your waist circumference
3. Enter your hip circumference
4. Click on the “Calculate” button

The calculator will display your WHR and indicate whether it falls within a healthy range.

Benefits

WHR provides an inexpensive and easy way to assess fat distribution and potential health risks like diabetes and heart disease.

Drawbacks

Accuracy depends on correct measurement. It may not be suitable for individuals under five feet tall or with a BMI of 35 or higher.

Reduce excess weight through healthy eating, portion control, and regular exercise. Monitor your progress using a WHR calculator or other health tools like BMI and blood pressure calculators.
