Calculate your waist-to-hip ratio to assess abdominal fat distribution and related health risks.
Waist-to-hip ratio is a measure of fat distribution. People who carry more weight around their waist (apple shape) have higher health risks than those who carry weight around their hips (pear shape).
For men, below 0.90 is low risk. For women, below 0.80 is low risk. Higher ratios indicate more abdominal fat, which is associated with greater health risks.
