∵ Waist-to-Height Ratio Calculator
How It Works
Calculate waist-to-height ratio from waist and height measurements. Use the estimate as a general starting point and review the assumptions behind it. Use Waist-to-Height Ratio Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.
The result is most useful when the inputs match the definitions used by this calculator. For this tool, the underlying method is: WHtR = Waist Circumference / Height. Compare the output with the worked example, then change one meaningful input at a time to see how the result responds.
Understanding Waist-to-Height Ratio
Waist-to-Height Ratio is a general health or fitness estimate based on the measurements and assumptions requested by the calculator. Health estimates are not diagnoses and can differ from an individual's actual needs or measurements. Review the waist-to-height ratio inputs and units before relying on the result.
When to Use This Calculator
Use Waist-to-Height Ratio Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.
Practical tip: For this Waist-to-Height Ratio Calculator, use the result as a starting estimate and change one measurement or activity assumption at a time so you can see how sensitive the estimate is.
Formula
WHtR = Waist Circumference / Height
Example
A 90 cm waist and 180 cm height gives a ratio of 0.50.
