How to Find Your Waist to Hip Ratio

Спорт

There are several easy ways to assess your health risk at home using minimal equipment. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a long-standing and widely known assessment, yet studies have indicated that both waist circumference and waist to hip ratio are better for assessing cardiovascular disease risk. Join ACE's Jessica Matthews as she explains how to perform these simple measurements at home.

    When my mom said I was getting “too thick” I measured my BMI, my BMR, and my W->H ratio. All three showed up as me being completely healthy. WTF mom.

    For us men, we measure the waist along the belly button. Our hips are also measured at the hip bones(the top part when you are going down from the belly button). For women, it seems you measure them from the narrowest point of their waist to the widest part of their booty.

    My BMI always made me feel like shit about myself every time I looked at it because it's always been higher with the parts of my body larger than most women but after doing the waist to hip ratio I am very happy to know that my health is not at risk and that I don't need to be doing these crazy diets anymore.

    I measured 0.81 today as a guy using the measuring techniques shown in the video. I still have work to do on my midsection and I need to lose the love handles and lower belly fat. I do work more of my glutes now through exercises like the hip thrust and I hope I can get that number closer and closer to 0.75 since I'm going for that hourglass shape (male bodybuilders call it X-shape).

    I really don't understand why we measure the smallest part of our waist and not the largest part of the stomach. In my case the difference is 13 cm!!! So is stomach fat not dangerous so long as it's placed below the waist? That makes no sense.

    Thats the thing, that weight stored in the lower body is less likely to serve for a disease, sorry this is such a vague comment I forgot the specifics but yeah where the weight is stored on the body matters. The waist to hip is a good ratio because it highlights the weight distribution rather than a sole stomach measurement that can be dependent on other factors such as height, width ect

    I find the difference between low and high to be unsatisfactory. So if I have a 38 waist I'm low risk but an inch and a half later I'm in the high risk category. Is seems as though there should be a moderate risk section.

    I don't get how hip to waist ratio can be accurate. I use to weigh 165, and I'm 5'4. My hip to waist ratio was .78 (which supposedly means I'm good. My hips measured at 42 inch and my waist at 33 inch.. I was pretty over wight. I could even see the fat. I recently became vegan (3-4 months ago) and I've lost 15 pounds, lost 2 inches from my hips and one inch from my waist. I look healthier, and feel better, but according to the hip to waist ratio I am now at a .80... how is this possible? Ive lost a couple of inches... I don't get it...

    It's all genetics, if you store fat in the hips mostly, that may be the place where you lose it first. If you would've shaved the same amount of fat off your waist as you did off your hips, the ratio would've remained the same. Since you've lost more off the hips compared to the waist, the ratio is a bit higher. Patience is key here, try to clean up the diet a bit more and lose inches off the waist and you'll see the ratio go down again.

    It also depends highly on your body type. My mother is very skinny and still as a ratio of 0.79. If you don't have a hourglass shape but something like a H-shape, the ratio will be much higher even though you're skinny enough.

    Waist to hip ratio relies on the fat distribution around the body. It is considered that fat distributed around hip is better than fat distributed around waist. Thats why the smaller the ratio, the better because it means more fat is distributed around your hip instead of your waist, which is good.
