Calculating your waist to hip ratio (WHR) is a simple measure to determine if you fall within a healthy weight range. WHR is a good indicator of body shape for men and women. A high WHR (greater than 0,85 for women and greater than 1,0 for men) indicates an apple- or barrel-shaped figure, with a non-existent waistline and a higher risk for heart disease. (Waist circumference for women should not exceed 88 cm; and 102 cm for men.) |
