Understanding Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR)

The Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) is a simple yet powerful measurement for assessing central obesity and potential health risks. This ratio has proven to be more accurate than BMI in predicting cardiovascular disease risk and overall mortality.

What is Waist-to-Height Ratio?

WHtR is calculated by dividing your waist circumference by your height, with both measurements in the same units. The resulting ratio provides insights into body fat distribution and associated health risks.

WHtR Categories and Health Implications

2. Early Warning (0.50-0.57)

3. Action Required (≥0.58)
