Waist-Hip Ratio Calculator

Estimate your waist-to-hip ratio to better understand fat distribution and central health risk patterns.

Why does waist-to-hip ratio matter?

Waist-to-hip ratio compares your waist measurement to your hip measurement. It can help indicate how body fat is distributed, not just how much you weigh.

A higher waist-to-hip ratio can suggest more central fat storage, which is often considered a more important health marker than weight alone.

Like any formula, waist-to-hip ratio is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It is most useful when combined with other markers such as waist size, BMI, and overall lifestyle.
