What is Waist-to-Hip Ratio?
WHR is the ratio of your waist circumference to your hip circumference. It helps assess fat distribution and risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions by measuring central obesity.
Why WHR Matters More Than BMI in Some Cases
- WHR can be a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than BMI alone
- It identifies central obesity—fat stored around your waist—which is more dangerous than fat stored elsewhere
- Provides insight into body fat distribution patterns
- Helps assess metabolic health risks
