About Waist-to-Hip Ratio
The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is calculated by dividing waist circumference by hip circumference. It is used by the World Health Organization as a measure of obesity and a predictor of cardiovascular disease risk.
Apple-shaped bodies (higher WHR) carry more fat around the abdomen, which is associated with higher health risks. Pear-shaped bodies (lower WHR) carry more fat around the hips and thighs, which is generally considered lower risk.
WHR should be used alongside other metrics like BMI and body fat percentage for a more complete health picture. This tool is for educational purposes and is not medical advice.
