Your waist to hip ratio is a measure of how fat is distributed around your body. Those with a higher percentage around the waist are sometimes considered "apple-shaped," while those with bigger hips are often noted as "pear-shaped." Women with a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.8 or less and men with a ratio of 0.9 or less are considered "safe." A WHR of 1.0 or higher, for either gender, is considered "at risk" for overweight-associated health problems. | Your waist to hip ratio is a measure of how fat is distributed around your body.
