The Formula
Waist-to-Hip Ratio = Waist Circumference ÷ Hip Circumference
Understanding the Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
Worked example: A 85 cm (33.5 in) waist and 100 cm (39.4 in) hips give a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.85. The ratio is identical in inches or centimeters.
Use the same units for both measurements and a consistent tape placement. The ratio alone does not diagnose cardiovascular disease.
