The formula to calculate the Hip to Waist Ratio (HWR) is:
\[ HWR = \frac{H}{W} \]
Where:
The Hip to Waist Ratio (HWR) is a measure of the proportion of the circumference of the hips to the circumference of the waist. It is commonly used in health and fitness to assess body shape and fat distribution. A higher ratio indicates a larger hip circumference relative to the waist, which can be associated with different health implications.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the Hip to Waist Ratio (HWR):
\[ HWR = \frac{40}{30} \approx 1.3333 \]
The hip to waist ratio is approximately 1.3333.
