What is a Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator?
The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is a simple measurement used to assess body fat distribution. A higher WHR indicates more fat stored around the waist (an "apple" shape), which is linked to a higher risk of developing health conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes compared to fat stored in the hips and thighs (a "pear" shape). This calculator quickly determines your WHR and associated risk level based on World Health Organization guidelines.
