How It Works

1

Measure Your Waist

Measure your waist at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel. Keep the tape measure snug but not tight.

2

Measure Your Hips

Measure your hips at the widest point around your buttocks. Keep the tape horizontal and parallel to the floor.

3

Calculate Ratio

Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. The tool will assess your health risk based on WHO guidelines.
