Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
Enter your waist and hip measurements to get your WHR and risk category.
WHR = Waist / Hip
Male: Waist 34 in, Hip 38 in -> WHR = 0.895 -> Low Risk
What is Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)?
WHR is your waist circumference divided by your hip circumference. It assesses fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk.
What units should I use?
Use the same unit for both waist and hip (inches or centimeters). The ratio is unitless.
What is a healthy WHR?
For males: < 0.90 is low risk, 0.90–0.99 moderate, >= 1.00 high. For females: < 0.80 low, 0.80–0.84 moderate, >= 0.85 high.
WHR vs BMI?
BMI reflects weight relative to height; WHR reflects fat distribution. Both are useful together for risk assessment.
