Assess your body's fat distribution and potential health risks with this simple and effective tool based on WHO guidelines.
Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is a measurement used to assess fat distribution. It helps determine if you store more fat around your abdomen (an "apple" shape) versus your hips (a "pear" shape). Storing more fat around the abdomen is linked to a higher risk of developing conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
| Gender | Low Risk | Moderate Risk | High Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men | < 0.90 | 0.90 – 0.99 | ≥ 1.0 |
| Women | < 0.80 | 0.80 – 0.89 | ≥ 0.90 |
