Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) measures the proportion by which fat is distributed around the torso using the circumference of the waist and hips.
How to Measure Yourself: Make sure the measuring tape is level around the body and measure close to the skin without cinching yourself. Measure your waist at its narrowest point or just above the belly button. Measure your hips at their widest point.
