Waist to hip ratio compares the circumference of your waist to your hips and is a simple indicator of how fat is distributed around the body. This calculator divides your waist measurement by your hip measurement and reports the ratio along with a category based on World Health Organization thresholds, which differ for men and women. For women a ratio at or below 0.80 is generally considered low risk, while for men the low risk line sits at or below 0.90, with higher numbers grouped into moderate and high categories. Use any unit as long as both measurements match, because the ratio itself has no units. All calculation happens locally in your browser with nothing sent anywhere. This is general information, not a diagnosis, so treat categories as context and discuss any health concerns with a qualified professional.
