Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?
For men, a ratio below 0.90 is generally considered low risk. For women, a ratio below 0.85 is generally considered low risk. Ratios at or above these thresholds are linked to a higher risk of health issues related to abdominal fat.
Why does the threshold differ between men and women?
Men and women naturally carry fat differently, so the World Health Organization uses different cutoff points for each sex when assessing abdominal-obesity risk.
How do I measure my hips for this calculator?
Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks while standing, keeping the tape measure level and snug but not tight.
Is waist-to-hip ratio better than BMI?
Waist-to-hip ratio specifically captures fat distribution, which many studies link more directly to cardiovascular risk than BMI alone. It is best used alongside BMI and other measures, not as a sole indicator.
