Waist-to-hip ratio

Health risk category

Use this Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator rence. WHR is a simple screening measure of body-fat distribution.

Calculation Method

Waist-to-hip ratio = waist circumference ÷ hip circumference

Use the same measurement unit for both values.

Example

For a waist circumference of 80 cm and hip circumference of 100 cm:

WHR = 80 ÷ 100 = 0.80

The waist circumference is therefore 80% of the hip circumference.

Important Note

WHR is a screening measure, not a diagnosis. WHO references have used values above 0.90 for men and above 0.85 for women as indicators of abdominal obesity, but interpretation can vary by population, age, sex, and clinical context.
