About Waist-to-Hip Ratio
WHR is a better predictor of cardiovascular health than BMI alone. It measures fat distribution, with abdominal fat posing greater health risks than fat stored in other areas.
| Category | Men (WHR) | Women (WHR) | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | < 0.95 | < 0.80 | Low risk of cardiovascular issues |
| Moderate Risk | 0.96 – 1.0 | 0.81 – 0.85 | Moderate risk, consider lifestyle changes |
| High Risk | > 1.0 | > 0.85 | High risk, consult healthcare provider |
