What Is Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)?
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) compares the circumference of your waist to that of your hips. It is a simple, evidence-backed tool for assessing the distribution of body fat — specifically whether fat is concentrated around the abdomen (apple shape) or hips/thighs (pear shape).
Formula
WHR = Waist Circumference (cm) / Hip Circumference (cm)
Measure waist at the narrowest point between ribs and navel. Measure hips at the widest point around the buttocks.
WHO Health Risk Categories
| Risk Level | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|
| Low risk | Below 0.80 | Below 0.90 |
| Moderate risk | 0.80 – 0.85 | 0.90 – 0.95 |
| High risk | Above 0.85 | Above 0.95 |
Why Abdominal Fat Is More Dangerous
Visceral fat (deep belly fat around organs) is metabolically active and produces inflammatory compounds linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers. WHR is a better predictor of these risks than BMI alone.
How to Reduce Waist-to-Hip Ratio
- Reduce overall body fat through a calorie deficit
- Include cardiovascular exercise and resistance training
- Reduce alcohol and added sugar intake (both increase visceral fat)
- Manage chronic stress — cortisol promotes abdominal fat storage
- Prioritize sleep (7–9 hours)
