Waist-to-Height Ratio
Waist-to-Height Ratio
A simple health-risk screening ratio — keeping it under 0.5 is the general target.
Your waist-to-height ratio is 0.46 (Healthy) — keeping it under 0.5 is the general rule of thumb for lower health risk.
Ratio:0.46 Healthy
Healthy
A ratio below 0.5 is the general target — Ashwell & Hsieh (2005) found it a strong predictor of healthy cardiometabolic risk.
How this is calculated
Simply waist ÷ height, using the Ashwell & Hsieh (2005) cutoffs: under 0.5 is the widely recommended target; 0.5-0.6 signals increased cardiometabolic risk.
