FAQ

What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio for women?

Many references use below 0.85 as a lower-risk range for women.

What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio for men?

Below 0.90 is commonly treated as a lower-risk range for men.

Is waist-to-hip ratio better than BMI for belly fat?

It can be more directly related to fat distribution because it uses waist size rather than total body weight.

How much should I reduce my waist size to lower WHR?

The calculator estimates the waist target needed to move below the lower-risk cutoff.

Does hip circumference change waist-to-hip ratio risk?

Yes. A larger hip measurement lowers the ratio for the same waist size.
