Waist-to-hip ratio calculator

Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) describes how body fat is distributed. Central (android) fat compared with hip (gynoid) fat is linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome risk.

The DiyetisyenPRO WHR calculator uses waist and hip circumferences, compares your result to WHO reference cutoffs by sex, and offers personalized guidance.

How WHR Is Calculated

Waist circumference ÷ hip circumference. Measure in centimeters; results are typically interpreted between about 0.70 and 1.00.

Risk Categories (WHO References)

• Women: Below 0.80 low risk; 0.80–0.85 moderate; above 0.85 high.
• Men: Below 0.90 low; 0.90–0.95 moderate; above 0.95 high.

Measurement Tips

• Waist: Standing comfortably, at navel level after normal exhale.
• Hip: At the widest point of the buttocks, tape parallel to the floor.
• Tape: Use a non-stretch tape; do not compress skin.
• Repeat: Two measures under the same conditions, then average.

What the DiyetisyenPRO Tool Provides

• Instant WHR: From waist and hip inputs.
• Sex-specific risk band: Low, moderate, or high vs WHO thresholds.
• Visual scale: Where your result sits on the healthy range.
• Personal tips: Nutrition and lifestyle pointers matched to risk level.

When to See a Dietitian

If you are in moderate or high risk, your waist is rising over time, or you have weight-loss goals, a personalized nutrition plan with a dietitian supports sustainable outcomes.
