Walking with Attitude

Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator

Using the waist-to-hip ratio is an easy way to see where you are carrying our weight - around your tummy or on your hips. If you store most of your excess body fat around your waist, it increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure compared to the folk who store their body fat on their hips and thighs.

Your waist-to-hip ratio is: 0.83

Women	Men	Health Risk
Under 0.8	Under 0.95	Low
0.81 - 0.85	0.96 - 1.0	Moderate
Over 0.85	Over 1.0	High

How does you result compare with the chart above?

For ladies, a waist measurement of 0.81 and above or for men 0.96 and above puts you at increased risk of weight-related health problems. The higher the number the higher the risk!

Please note: Because of differences in body proportions in different Ethnic groups, such as Asians and Pacific islanders these results may not be applicable to you.

Only use this result as guideline. If you are worried about your body fat/weight please consult your doctor/medical advisor.

I joined WWA only a week ago for motivation to be more active.I had over the last 9 months already lost 24kgs and needed something to move me to lose the last 7kgs to get to goal weight..... I have never enjoyed "activity" so much as this last week..WWA is so motivating ...I love it! The more I get into it the better.. I'm doing the Walking through Winter challenge..."What's in Kate's Bum Bag" It is fun and the curiosity alone is making me walk faster and more often just for the next clue... Thanks for such great inspiration.
