The Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator helps assess your body fat distribution and related health risk by comparing the circumference of your waist to that of your hips. This ratio indicates whether fat is stored more around your waist or hips, which is important for understanding cardiovascular and metabolic health. A higher waist-to-hip ratio suggests more abdominal fat, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Maintaining a lower ratio reflects a healthier fat distribution, often seen in individuals with active lifestyles and balanced diets.
