How it works
Waist-to-hip ratio is calculated as waist ÷ hip. Both measurements must use the same unit. The final ratio does not have a unit.
Examples
- 80 cm waist and 95 cm hip → ratio ≈ 0.842
- 32 in waist and 40 in hip → ratio = 0.80
- Useful as a simple body-shape comparison metric
FAQ
- What is waist-to-hip ratio?
Waist-to-hip ratio compares waist circumference to hip circumference by dividing waist measurement by hip measurement.
- Do both measurements need the same unit?
Yes. Waist and hip measurements must use the same unit, such as centimeters or inches.
- Is this a diagnosis?
No. This calculator provides a simple ratio and broad reference labels only. It is not a medical diagnosis.
- Why is sex optional here?
Some broad reference label ranges are commonly shown differently for male and female categories, so the tool can optionally apply those labels.
