Assess your body fat distribution and potential health risks with our advanced WHR calculator.
Calculate Your WHRWaist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is a measurement of the circumference of the waist relative to the hips. It's a simple way to assess body fat distribution and is a better predictor of health risks than BMI alone.
WHR is calculated by dividing your waist circumference by your hip circumference:
WHR = Waist Circumference รท Hip Circumference
WHR helps identify whether you carry fat around your middle (apple shape) or around your hips (pear shape). Abdominal fat (apple shape) is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems.

| Risk Category | WHR for Men | WHR for Women | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | 0.95 or below | 0.80 or below | Low health risk |
| Moderate Risk | 0.96 to 1.0 | 0.81 to 0.85 | Moderate health risk |
| High Risk | 1.0+ | 0.85+ | High health risk |
More fat around the waist (higher WHR). Associated with higher health risks.
More fat around the hips (lower WHR). Generally associated with lower health risks.
Measure around your bare abdomen just above your hip bone, at the narrowest part of your waist.
Measure around the widest part of your buttocks, while keeping your feet together.
