Calculate your WHR and assess health risk
Cut-offs are from the WHO 2008 expert consultation (adults). WHR is a screening measure only and does not diagnose any condition; cut-offs differ by ethnicity and age, and some guides use other thresholds. Measure waist at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone, and hips at the widest point. Discuss results with your doctor.
