Waist-to-Hip Ratio
The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a measurement that compares the size of your waist in inches to the size of your hips in inches.
The risk for developing heart disease can be estimated using your WHR.
People who carry more weight around their midsection (an apple-shaped body) are at higher risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature death than those who carry more of their weight in their hips and thighs (a pear-shaped body).
A healthy WHR for women is under 0.85.
