What is WHR (Waist-to-Hip Ratio)?
WHR is your waist circumference divided by your hip circumference. For men, a WHR below 0.90 is low risk; 0.90–0.95 is moderate risk; above 0.95 is high risk. For women, below 0.80 is low risk; 0.80–0.85 is moderate risk; above 0.85 is high risk. It is used as an indicator of abdominal obesity and cardiovascular disease risk.
What is WHtR (Waist-to-Height Ratio)?
WHtR is your waist circumference divided by your height. A general guideline: below 0.40 is underweight, 0.40–0.50 is healthy, 0.50–0.60 is overweight, and above 0.60 is obese. WHtR is considered a better predictor of cardiometabolic risk than BMI alone because it accounts for both body size and abdominal fat distribution.
What body shapes are there?
The four main body shapes based on WHR are: Apple (Android) — fat concentrated around the abdomen; Pear (Gynoid) — fat concentrated in hips and thighs; Hourglass — balanced hips and shoulders with a defined waist (females only); Rectangle — similar waist and hip measurements with little definition.
Does it matter whether I use cm or inches?
No. WHR and WHtR are pure ratios, so the unit does not affect the result as long as all three measurements (waist, hip, height) are in the same unit. The unit selector simply labels the measurement rows in the results table.
