What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?
Divide your waist by your hips. A lower ratio is better.
The World Health Organization (2008) treats these as a sign of fat stored around the middle:
- 0.85 or more for women
- 0.90 or more for men
That fat carries more health risk than fat on the hips and thighs.
| Sex | Ratio that signals more risk |
|---|---|
| Women | 0.85 or more |
| Men | 0.90 or more |

How this works
Divide your waist by your hips. The World Health Organization (2008) treats 0.85 or more for women, and 0.90 or more for men, as a sign of fat stored around the middle, which carries more health risk than fat on the hips and thighs.
A number is a starting point, not a plan. On a free call, Puja looks at it with your reports and your routine.
