The maths behind it

This tool uses Ratio = waist ÷ height, in the same unit. The guideline is to keep the ratio below 0.5 — waist under half your height. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

A better screening measure than BMI for fat carried around the middle, which is the pattern most associated with metabolic risk. Measure at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone, breathing out normally, not sucking in. A screening indicator, not a diagnosis.
