How to be a healthy weight
Waist-to-hip calculator
Your waist-to-hip ratio can show if you are more likely to develop conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. This is because people who carry more weight around their middle ('apple-shaped') have been shown to be at greater risk of these diseases than those who carry it around their hips ('pear-shaped').
If your measurement is in the moderate or high-risk categories, your health will benefit from a diet and exercise programme aimed at you losing weight from your middle.
Use this simple waist-to-hip ratio calculator to find out how at-risk you are.
