Waist Hip Ratio Calculator-The waist to hip ratio calculator indicates your probable health risks. It is calculated by measuring the waist circumference (located just above the upper hip bone) and dividing by the hip circumference at its widest part (waist/hip).

Ideal Ratio:

Male                              Female                          Health Risk

0.95 or below              0.80 or below               Low Risk
0.96 to 1.0                   0.81 to 0.85                   Moderate Risk
1.0+                              0.85+                              High Risk

In general, people with more weight around the waist face more health risks than people who carry more weight around their hips.
