Waist Hip Ratio Calculator
The waist to hip ratio compares the size of your waist, to your hip measurement.
To get the most accurate measurements, you should measure your waist just above your belly button. You should measure your hips at the widest point of your buttocks.
Check the waist to hip ratio chart to see what this means.
