FAQ

What is WHtR?
Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) compares your waist circumference to your height. It’s unitless and can correlate with central fat and cardiometabolic risk.
What are common categories?
Many references use approximate cutoffs: Healthy: 0.35–0.49; Increased risk: 0.50–0.59; High risk: ≥0.60. Below ~0.35 may suggest underweight.
How do I measure waist?
Measure at the narrowest point between the ribs and hips (or at the navel level), relaxed, after a normal exhale.
