The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR,[a] or WSR: waist-to-stature ratio) is the waist circumference divided by body height, both measured in the same units.
WHtR is a measure of the distribution of body fat. Higher values of WHtR indicate higher risk of obesity-related cardiovascular diseases, which are correlated with both total fat mass (adiposity) [1] and abdominal obesity.[2] A waist size less than half the height helps to stave off serious health problems.[3]
