Note:
- First, measure yourself, in centimeter, then, enter your waist and hip measurement. Click on the "Calculate WHR" button to get your results.
- A WHR Ratio of 1.0 or greater for Men and 0.8 or greater for Women indicates that fat stores are carried around your middle (apple shape) and this is believed to increase your health risk for diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
Waist circumference is a convinient and simple measurement. It provides a more practical correlate to abdominal fat distribution and associated ill health.
