Waist-to-Hip Ratio
How do I measure waist-to-hip ratio?
Use an ordinary tape measure and:
- Measure your waist at its narrowest (usually around the belly-button or just above it).
- Measure your hips at the widest part around your buttocks.
Hate to do math? No problem. Use our free, online Waist-to-Hip Calculator – just enter your waist and hip measurements and the calculator does all the work for you!
