The formula

WHR = waist / hip

Waist-to-hip ratio captures where fat sits rather than how much there is. Abdominal fat carries more metabolic risk than fat on hips and thighs, so this adds information BMI structurally cannot — the two are best read together, not as alternatives.

What does WHR indicate?+
Waist-to-hip ratio reflects how fat is distributed. WHO guidance treats ratios above 0.90 (men) or 0.85 (women) as a marker of higher metabolic risk — use it alongside BMI, not instead of it.
