Low Risk
How This Works
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is used as an indicator of fat distribution, which research associates with cardiovascular risk more strongly than weight alone. It's a screening measure, not a diagnosis — a doctor can put the number in the context of your full health picture.
Formula
WHR = Waist Circumference ÷ Hip Circumference
Risk Categories (WHO)
Men: <0.90 Low, 0.90–0.99 Moderate, 1.00+ High
Women: <0.80 Low, 0.80–0.84 Moderate, 0.85+ High
