How to Calculate Your Waist to Hip Ratio
January 17, 2008
In order to figure you Waist to Hip Ratio ( WHR ), measure the smallest section of your waist and the widest area around your hips. Divide your waist by your hips (waist / hips). A healthy woman’s ratio should not be over .8 and a health man’s should not be over 1.0. Ratio numbers above these may indicate Central Obesity which puts you at higher risk for chronic disease.
