Waist-to-Hip Ratio Formula
Transparent mathematical methodology explained in plain English.
WHR = Waist Circumference / Hip CircumferenceEvaluates android (apple-shaped) vs gynoid (pear-shaped) body fat distribution. WHO thresholds for high cardiovascular risk: >0.90 for men and >0.85 for women.
Variables Explained:
- Waist Circumference (inches / cm): Measured at the narrowest point between lower rib and iliac crest.
- Hip Circumference (inches / cm): Measured at the widest point of the buttocks.
Male with 34-inch Waist and 40-inch Hips
Calculating WHR and evaluating health risk category.
- Calculate WHR: 34 / 40 = 0.85.
- WHO Classification (Men): Under 0.90 is categorized as "Low Health Risk".

Why is Waist-to-Hip Ratio often more informative than BMI?
BMI does not differentiate between muscle and fat or where fat is stored. WHR specifically identifies abdominal visceral fat surrounding vital organs, which strongly correlates with diabetes and heart disease.
What are the WHO WHR health risk thresholds?
For Men: Low (<0.90), Moderate (0.90–0.99), High (1.00+). For Women: Low (<0.80), Moderate (0.80–0.84), High (0.85+).
