Waist-to-Hip Ratio vs Waist Circumference
Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)
WHR = Waist / Hip
Risk Levels (Male)
Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR)
WHtR = Waist / Height
A WHtR above 0.5 indicates increased health risk regardless of BMI. This metric is gaining recognition as a simple and effective health screening tool.
Example Calculation
A male: waist 36 inches, hips 40 inches, height 70 inches.
- 01WHR = 36 / 40 = 0.900 (Low to moderate risk boundary)
- 02WHtR = 36 / 70 = 0.514 (Slightly above 0.5 threshold)
- 03Waist = 91.4 cm
