- Hips: Measure at the widest part of your buttocks.

The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculator is an important indicator of health risk. Unlike BMI, which just measures weight, WHR looks at fat distribution.
People who carry weight around their middle ("apple" shape) are at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes than those who carry it around their hips ("pear" shape). This tool helps assess that risk.
