Your waist-to-hip ratio is 0.85, low risk for men.

  • WHR captures abdominal fat, which carries more health risk than fat stored on the hips and thighs.
  • Your numbers point to a pear (hip-heavy) fat pattern; apple shapes carry more central fat and more cardiometabolic risk than pear shapes.
  • Your waist-to-height ratio is 0.49; a common rule of thumb is to keep your waist under half your height (below 0.50).
  • Measure with a relaxed stomach, tape level and snug but not compressing the skin, for a reliable reading.

Next stepPair WHR with BMI and your waist-to-height ratio for a fuller picture of fat distribution.
