Waist-Hip-Ratio (WHR)


To get your Waist-Hip-Ratio you have to measure the circumference of your waist and of your hip. Then divide the waist measurement throught the hip measurement.

Waist circumference divided through hip circumference
The result should be 1.0 or lower for men and 0.85 or lower for women. Higheer values mean a higher risk for coming down to a consequence for over weight.

How to measure:
For waist circumference measure at the high of your belly button. For hip circumference measure at the thickest point of your bottom.
