StartAbout Waist-to-Hip Ratio
Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) = waist ÷ hip. It reflects fat distribution and central obesity, an important marker of cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

Standards
Low Risk<0.9Moderate Risk0.9-1High Risk≥1
- 🍎 Apple shape：Apple shape: fat sits around the abdomen, with higher visceral fat and metabolic risk.
- 🍐 Pear shape：Pear shape: fat sits around the hips and thighs, with relatively lower health risk.
- Measure the waist at its narrowest point around the navel, and the hips at the widest point; stand naturally, exhale, and keep the tape snug but not tight.
- WHO recommends WHR < 0.9 for men and < 0.85 for women.

About this tool
What is Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator?
Your waist circumference divided by your hip circumference.
What is it for?
Identifies fat distribution (apple vs pear) and the cardiovascular risk linked to abdominal obesity.
How to read your result
Men <0.9 and women <0.85 are low risk; the higher the value, the greater the visceral-fat-related risk.
