  • What is your waist to height ratio?

    Waist to height ratio is an additional measure of excess fat  in adults who have a BMI under 35.

    To calculate your waist to height ratio:

    • Find the middle point between your lowest rib and your hip bone. This should be roughly level with your belly button.
      Wrap the tape measure around this middle point, breathing naturally and not holding your tummy in.
    • Take your measurement and divide it by your height, measured in the same units (for example, centimetres or inches).
    • For example, if your waist is 80cm and you are 160cm tall, you would calculate your result like this: 80 divided by 160, which equals 0.5.
      A waist to height ratio of 0.5 or higher means you may have increased health risks.
