The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) measures the proportion of your waist circumference to your hip circumference, and it is often used to assess body fat distribution. A higher WHR indicates a greater concentration of weight around the waist compared to the hips, which can suggest a higher risk of health issues. While it doesn't directly measure extra weight on your hips, it provides insight into how weight is distributed in that area relative to the waist.

If you have a waist to hip ratio of 0.70 this means that you have what?

A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.70 indicates that your waist measurement is 70% of your hip measurement. This ratio is often associated with a pear-shaped body type, where the hips are wider than the waist. A lower waist-to-hip ratio can be linked to a lower risk of certain health issues, particularly cardiovascular diseases. In general, it reflects a distribution of body fat that is considered healthier for women.
