Calculate your waist-to-hip ratio, a common indicator of body fat distribution.
The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) compares the size of your waist to your hips. It shows where you carry fat: fat around the waist is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Measure your waist at its narrowest point or at the navel, and your hips at the widest point, then enter both in centimetres.
| Waist | 85 cm |
| Hip | 100 cm |
| Waist-to-Hip Ratio | 0.85 |
Your waist-to-hip ratio is 0.85.
Try this example →Stand upright, breathe out normally and measure over light clothing. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight.
It captures fat distribution, which BMI cannot. Doctors often use both.
Talk to a doctor. Regular activity, a balanced diet and better sleep help reduce belly fat.
