Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Waist-to-Hip Ratio:

\[ \text{W-H Ratio} = \frac{W}{H} \]

Where:

\(W\) is the Waist Circumference (in inches)
\(H\) is the Hip Measurement (in inches)

Waist-to-Hip Ratio Definition

The waist-to-hip ratio is a measure of the circumference around your waist to the circumference around your hips. It is used to gauge body fat distribution and potential health risks.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Waist Circumference (\(W\)) = 32 inches
Hip Measurement (\(H\)) = 40 inches

Using the formula:

\[ \text{W-H Ratio} = \frac{32}{40} = 0.80 \]

The Waist-to-Hip Ratio is 0.80.
