Calculate Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHTR) for health assessment and body composition analysis. Evaluate health risks and get personalized recommendations based on scientific standards.
WHTR Range | Category | Health Risk |
---|---|---|
< 0.35 | Underweight | May indicate underweight or need for health evaluation |
0.35 - 0.42 | Healthy Range | Optimal health range with lowest disease risk |
0.43 - 0.52 | Increased Risk | Slightly elevated risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases |
0.53 - 0.57 | High Risk | Significantly elevated risk for health complications |
> 0.58 | Very High Risk | Very high risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes |
Measure around your waist at the narrowest point, usually just above the belly button. Stand straight and breathe normally.
Measure your height without shoes. Stand straight against a wall for the most accurate measurement.
The calculator will automatically compute your WHTR and provide health category and risk assessment.
Waist: 70 cm (27.6 inches)
Height: 170 cm (5'7")
WHTR = 70 ÷ 170 = 0.41
Result: Healthy Range
Waist: 90 cm (35.4 inches)
Height: 175 cm (5'9")
WHTR = 90 ÷ 175 = 0.51
Result: Increased Risk
