Your ratio vs risk thresholds
Your ratio vs risk thresholds: 0.85 — Low. Scale runs from 0.75 to 1.05.
What this means
Your waist-to-hip ratio compares fat stored around your midsection to fat around your hips. Because abdominal (visceral) fat is more strongly linked to heart disease and diabetes than fat elsewhere, WHR is a simple but meaningful health indicator — sometimes more predictive than BMI.
Recommendations
- If you're in a higher-risk band, reducing waist circumference through fat loss and regular activity lowers risk.
- Track waist measurement over time — it responds to lifestyle changes and reflects visceral fat.
Watch out
- WHR is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Discuss elevated results and overall risk factors with a healthcare professional.
