Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Waist-to-Height Ratio anyway?
Research suggests that WHtR is a better predictor of heart disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk than BMI because it focuses on central obesity (abdominal fat).
How should I measure my waist?
Measure at the midpoint between the lower margin of the last palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest (hip bone). Usually, this is just above the belly button.
