About this tool
Measure your waist at the narrowest point or at the navel, and your hips at the widest point. Divide waist by hips. The World Health Organization uses 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women as the level of abdominal obesity. It is a screening number, not a diagnosis.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure?
Stand straight, breathe out, and measure with a tape that is flat and snug but not tight.
What is a healthy ratio?
Below 0.90 for men and below 0.85 for women, according to the WHO.
