Waist to Hip ratio
This has been referred to as the new standard for measuring your risk for weight related health problems ( i.e Cardiovascular disease, etc..).
Find your waist measurement in (inches) by using a non-stretch tape measure. Wrap it around your stomach, just above your bellybutton so that it is as level as possible. Make sure that it is pulled tight enough so that there are no gaps between your skin and the tape measure.
Your hip measurement can be found using the same technique around the widest part of your hips.
To find your ratio simply divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Using the numbers below the waist to hip ratio would be 0.875
(Waist) 35/40 (Hip) = Ratio of 0.875
A healthy ratio for women is defined as 0.70 or less
A healthy ratio for men is 0.90 or less
