Calculate WHR

Here you can calculate your WHR (Waist to hip ratio).
The WHR is a measure for the fat distribution in the body.
Enter your waist girth (measured between pelvis upper edge and the lowest rib) and your hip measurement (measured on the broadest point) in centimeters and click Calculate.

Waist girth (cm): Hip measurement (cm): WHR:

under 0.72 Risk base value 1 concerning coronary heart deseases between 0.72 and 0.75    1.59-fold bad risk for coronary heart deseases between 0.76 and 0.79 2.32-fold bad risk for coronary heart deseases between 0.80 and 0.83 2.85-fold bad risk for coronary heart deseases between 0.84 and 0.87 3.57-fold bad risk for coronary heart deseases over 0.88 5.04-fold bad risk for coronary heart deseases

Formula for calculate the waist to hip ratio: Waist girth / Hip measurement

Explanations:
Conorary heart deseases are deseases of the heart vein.
A increased health risk exists for women starting from a WHR of 0.85, for men starting from a WHR of 1.0.
