Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator

Waist circumference is the ratio of hip circumference. As a result of scientific studies, this value is measured and the risk level of potential health problems that individuals may face in the future can be easily determined. According to the scientists' studies, it gives quite accurate results about the risk of an individual's health problem since it shows in which part of the body the excess weight is collected. Experts recommend that it is calculated at least quarterly and followed up regularly.

In men, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, Alzheimer's, etc. The risk of developing chronic diseases varies as follows.

• 0.95 and below: Low level of health risk
• 0.96 - 1.0: Moderate level of health risk

The main problem that leads to the expansion of the waist circumference is the fat in the abdomen, that is, the fat collected in the abdomen. These fats are practically defined as intra-abdominal fats. This type of fat accumulation brings with it very important health risks.
