Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator Guide

This guide will help you use the Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator step-by-step to determine your health risk category based on your waist and hip measurements.

Step 1: Gather Your Measurements

Before using the calculator, ensure you have the following measurements:

  • Waist Circumference: Measure your waist at its narrowest point.
  • Hip Circumference: Measure your hips at their widest point.

Ensure that the measurements are within the range of 40 cm to 200 cm, as this is the valid range for the calculator.

Step 2: Input Your Waist Circumference

In the calculator’s form, locate the field labeled Waist Circumference (cm).

  • Enter your waist measurement in centimeters in the provided input box.
  • The measurement should be a number with up to one decimal place and within the range of 40 cm to 200 cm.

Step 3: Input Your Hip Circumference

Next, find the field labeled Hip Circumference (cm).

  • Enter your hip measurement in centimeters in the corresponding input box.
  • Like the waist measurement, ensure it is a number with up to one decimal place and falls within the range specified.

Step 4: Select Your Gender

Locate the Gender selection field in the calculator form.

  • Select your gender by choosing either Male or Female from the dropdown menu.

Step 5: Calculate Your WHR and Determine Health Risk

After filling in all the required fields, submit the form to calculate your Waist-to-Hip Ratio.

  • The calculator uses the formula waist circumference ÷ hip circumference to compute your WHR.
  • The result will be displayed up to two decimal places in the field labeled Your WHR.

Your health risk category will be determined based on your WHR value and gender:

  • For Males:
    • Low Health Risk: WHR ≤ 0.9
    • Moderate Health Risk: WHR 0.91 – 0.99
    • High Health Risk: WHR ≥ 1.0
  • For Females:
    • Low Health Risk: WHR ≤ 0.8
    • Moderate Health Risk: WHR 0.81 – 0.89
    • High Health Risk: WHR ≥ 0.9

Your health risk category will be displayed in the field labeled Health Risk Category.

Conclusion

Using this calculator, you can assess your health risk category based on your Waist-to-Hip Ratio, which is an essential indicator of health and fitness levels. Remember to use accurate measurements for the most reliable results.
