Waist-Hip-Ratio (WHR)


To get your Waist-Hip-Ratio you have to measure the circumference of your waist and of your hip. Then divide the waist measurement throught the hip measurement.


Formula:

Waist circumference divided through hip circumference
The result should be 1.0 or lower for men and 0.85 or lower for women. Higheer values mean a higher risk for coming down to a consequence for over weight.

How to measure:
For waist circumference measure at the high of your belly button. For hip circumference measure at the thickest point of your bottom.
