How to Measure Waist to Hip Ratio?

Stand upright with feet together and relax your abdomen

Find the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button

Wrap a measuring tape around your waist and record the measurement

Find the widest part of your hips and buttocks

Wrap the measuring tape around your hips and record the measurement

Divide the waist measurement by the hip measurement

Use the formula: Waist-to-Hip Ratio = Waist ÷ Hips

Make sure both measurements use the same unit

Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight
