Waist-Hip Ratio

Waist-Hip Ratio

The waist - hip ratio is calculated by dividing waist circumference at its narrowest point by hip circumference at the widest point. It is a simple and useful measure of fat distribution
Divide your waist size at its smallest by your hip size at its largest and you get a key to how much fat is stored in the abdomen, where it raises the risk of heart disease. The lowest healthy ratio is not yet known. But many experts agree that women with ratios of 0.8 or lower and men with ratios of 1 or lower are in good shape.
