How it works

The ratio is waist circumference divided by hip circumference. The World Health Organization flags elevated risk above 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women because abdominal fat is metabolically riskier.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I measure?

Waist at the narrowest point above the navel, hips at the widest point of the buttocks, tape snug but not compressing.

Is WHR better than BMI?

For cardiovascular risk it often is, because BMI cannot tell where the weight sits.
