The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is a powerful indicator of your health. Unlike BMI, which only looks at weight relative to height, WHR examines fat distribution. Research shows that carrying excess weight around the midsection (visceral fat) is associated with higher health risks. Our calculator helps you understand your body shape and associated risk levels.
