Waist-to-Height Ratio Calculator

How the calculation works

Ratio = waist / height. Both measurements use the same unit.

Inputs

• Waist circumference, cm
• Height, cm

Calculation details

An adult estimate, not for children, pregnancy, or a personal treatment plan. Discuss results with a clinician or dietitian when managing illness or changing your diet.

Measure without compressing the skin and use a consistent method. A ratio alone does not establish a diagnosis.
