The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is a simple measurement used to determine the distribution of fat on your body. Where you store fat is an important indicator of health. People who carry more weight around their abdomen (an 'apple' shape) are at a higher risk for health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes compared to those who carry weight in their hips and thighs (a 'pear' shape). This calculator will quickly give you your WHR and an indication of your associated health risk.
