How to Use the WHR Calculator
Enter waist and hip measurements in cm or inches. Get your WHR and health risk category based on WHO guidelines for your gender.
WHR Calculator Formula
WHR = Waist (cm) / Hip (cm)Male risk= <0.90 low | 0.90–0.99 moderate | ≥1.0 highFemale risk= <0.80 low | 0.80–0.89 moderate | ≥0.90 high
Example Calculation
Female, waist 75 cm, hip 95 cm:
WHR = 75/95 = 0.79
WHR = 0.79 — Low risk
Frequently Asked Questions
Is WHR better than BMI?
WHR is better at predicting cardiovascular risk because it measures fat distribution. Abdominal fat (high WHR) is more dangerous than fat elsewhere, even at a normal BMI. Use both for a complete picture.
