Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator: Makes it easy to measure your waist-to-hip ratio. The ratio tells more about your health and is an indicator of more serious health conditions.

Knowing the amount of body fat is good, but its also important to know where most of that fat is deposited in your body. Adults who store most of their body fat around their waists have an increased risk of diseases (high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke) compared to those who have the same amount of body fat deposited around their hips and thighs.

Waist-hip ratio is used as a measurement of obesity. Another way of measuring obesity is absolute waist circumference.

These calculators are meant for use by people aged 18 years and older.
