Frequently Asked Questions
What is waist-hip ratio and why is it important?
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is calculated by dividing waist circumference by hip circumference. This ratio indicates fat accumulation in the abdominal area and is an important indicator of metabolic disease risks such as heart disease and diabetes.
What should a normal waist-hip ratio be?
According to the World Health Organization, values below 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women are considered low risk. Values above these thresholds indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
How do I correctly measure my waist circumference?
Waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point at navel level (usually between the last rib and hip bone). Hip circumference is measured at the widest point of the hips. Stand in a natural posture without pulling your stomach in during measurement.
