Overview

The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator divides waist circumference by hip circumference to assess abdominal obesity and cardiovascular disease risk. According to WHO, a WHR ≥ 0.90 for men or ≥ 0.85 for women indicates substantially increased health risk.

Formula

WHR = waist circumference (cm) / hip circumference (cm) | Risk thresholds — Men: ≥ 0.90 (high risk), Women: ≥ 0.85 (high risk) | Example: Male, waist 88 cm, hip 100 cm → WHR = 0.88 (moderate risk)

How to Use

1. 1Enter your waist circumference in cm (measured at navel level).
2. 2Enter your hip circumference in cm (measured at the widest point).
3. 3Select your sex.
4. 4Click 'Calculate' to view your WHR and health risk category.

Tips

• ✔Measure waist at navel level and hips at the widest point, keeping the tape horizontal.
• ✔WHR reflects abdominal fat distribution more accurately than BMI for cardiovascular risk.
• ✔Waist circumference alone is also important: ≥ 90 cm (men) or ≥ 85 cm (women) indicates abdominal obesity in Asian populations.
• ✔This calculator is for reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for accurate risk assessment.
