Waist-to-Hip & Waist-to-Height Calculator

Computes the waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios, two body-shape measures that predict health risk better than BMI alone, and classifies each against standard thresholds.

Notes

  • Waist-to-height ratio has one easy rule: keep your waist under half your height.
  • Waist-to-hip thresholds differ by sex; abdominal fat carries more metabolic risk than fat on the hips.
  • This is an educational estimate, not medical advice; consult a professional for decisions about your health.
