How It Works
WHtR = waist circumference / height. It's that simple.
- Below 0.5: Low risk. Your waist is less than half your height.
- 0.5 to 0.6: Moderate risk. Time to pay attention.
- Above 0.6: High risk. Consult a healthcare provider.
Research suggests WHtR is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than BMI because it accounts for abdominal fat — the dangerous kind.
Measure waist at the level of your navel, after exhaling. Don't suck in.
