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.

  1. 01WHR = 36 / 40 = 0.900 (Low to moderate risk boundary)
  2. 02WHtR = 36 / 70 = 0.514 (Slightly above 0.5 threshold)
  3. 03Waist = 91.4 cm
