Are You Apple or Pear? Find Out with This Calculator.
To calculate the ratio, use a non-stretchable tape. Make sure it is level around the body, parallel to the floor, and tighten it without depressing the skin. Measure the waist at its narrowest point width-wise, usually just above the belly button. Measure the hips around the widest part of the hip bones. Then divide the waist measurement by the hip measurement.
Enter your waist and hip circumferences below and click "Calculate" to get your WHR.
