About waist to height ratio

Why WHtR is useful

Waist-to-height ratio is a straightforward screening measure for central body fat. A commonly cited guideline is to keep your waist under half your height.

How it is calculated

Waist circumference divided by height, both in the same units. Bands differ between men and women, and this calculator applies the appropriate set.

WHtR is a screening measure. It does not diagnose any condition.
