How to Find Your Waist to Hip Ratio

[@garylauti2008]

This has helped me understand the use of measuring my waist can determine how healthy I am in terms of weight wise.

[@Dabayare]

For us men, we measure the waist along the belly button. Our hips are also measured at the hip bones(the top part when you are going down from the belly button). For women, it seems you measure them from the narrowest point of their waist to the widest part of their booty.

[@lilea26lacrosse]

It was good to know there are several options to determine cardiovascular disease risk outside of BMI which has limited accuracy. I agree it is essential to measure in the same location every time to ensure measurements are accurate.

[@jazminennis5537]

I like how the video explains how to use a measure. I want to start using it so I can see how much I weight without spending a lot of money

[@markomarinkovic7634]

Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Patlarny Escape Fat Principle (search on google)? It is a great one off product for getting slim without exercise minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got astronomical success with it.

[@jtsmizzack]

I find the difference between low and high to be unsatisfactory. So if I have a 38 waist I'm low risk but an inch and a half later I'm in the high risk category. Is seems as though there should be a moderate risk section.

[@jshepard152]

Yeah... That's because you have a nose for bullshit.

[@SelenaSecretShow]

My BMI always made me feel like shit about myself every time I looked at it because it's always been higher with the parts of my body larger than most women but after doing the waist to hip ratio I am very happy to know that my health is not at risk and that I don't need to be doing these crazy diets anymore.

[@prettythings89]

I really don't understand why we measure the smallest part of our waist and not the largest part of the stomach. In my case the difference is 13 cm!!! So is stomach fat not dangerous so long as it's placed below the waist? That makes no sense.

[@MinMin-qw5gn]

Thats the thing, that weight stored in the lower body is less likely to serve for a disease, sorry this is such a vague comment I forgot the specifics but yeah where the weight is stored on the body matters. The waist to hip is a good ratio because it highlights the weight distribution rather than a sole stomach measurement that can be dependent on other factors such as height, width ect

[@DoctorItaloUsa-tc2kt]

Excellent information ❤

[@MissLalaland89]

Smallest part of your waist. Where the indentations are (if you have those of course) :)

[@facelessartist0603]

When my mom said I was getting “too thick” I measured my BMI, my BMR, and my W->H ratio. All three showed up as me being completely healthy. WTF mom.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

Get a doctor to tell her to shove it.

[@facelessartist0603]

Mrtheunnameable I mean I would, if it weren’t for me losing twenty or so pounds. Now all my clothes are loose and baggy on my and I hate it. I wish I could get back to 125-130, but now just the thought of gaining weight makes me nervous

[@mirdulamadhu320]

She's old school. O size waist is their norm.

[@elliemcgrath6973]

1:19 is that chart referring to your waist or your midpoint? Why would it be about your waist? Everyone has a small waist. It's the midpoint that's the fattest part.

[@mochigojo9753]

Lol i divided hip/waist and i got 1.something i was so scared

[@emeliatindugan8557]

Lol me too

[@bridgetandrews5459]

so if my waist is 30 inch and hip 35 inch..do i divide 30 by 35..would .8 be right..ok..like is it healthy for heart etc

[@tusseriesfavoritas7441]

Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Patlarny Escape Fat Principle (search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting slim without exercise minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

[@mochigojo9753]

Tus Series Favoritas Idk if you are asking me or the person who posted the video but if you want my two cents: I wish there are shortcuts on having great body proportions that doesnt need a doctor and a scalpel as well. I havent searched about it but i think the only way to get slim without exercising is to not eat at all lmao.

[@rev.sanjaydan7598]

Very nicely defined Jessica

[@BelieverinChrist4ever]

I don't get how hip to waist ratio can be accurate. I use to weigh 165, and I'm 5'4. My hip to waist ratio was .78 (which supposedly means I'm good. My hips measured at 42 inch and my waist at 33 inch.. I was pretty over wight. I could even see the fat. I recently became vegan (3-4 months ago) and I've lost 15 pounds, lost 2 inches from my hips and one inch from my waist. I look healthier, and feel better, but according to the hip to waist ratio I am now at a .80... how is this possible? Ive lost a couple of inches... I don't get it...

[@TrumptPking]

Karina Agudo your hips dont change in size only your waist. your hip size is genetic, once you have no fat ontop of that area you cant get that measurement any smaller

[@roseletj]

Karina Agyudo

[@annie20alpha]

It's all genetics, if you store fat in the hips mostly, that may be the place where you lose it first. If you would've shaved the same amount of fat off your waist as you did off your hips, the ratio would've remained the same. Since you've lost more off the hips compared to the waist, the ratio is a bit higher. Patience is key here, try to clean up the diet a bit more and lose inches off the waist and you'll see the ratio go down again.

[@mkakajoel5281]

It means you have more superficial fat than visceral fat, which is a good thing. Visceral fat is dangerous, superficial fat(around your limbs, hips) is not dangerous

[@annabolika8919]

It also depends highly on your body type. My mother is very skinny and still as a ratio of 0.79. If you don't have a hourglass shape but something like a H-shape, the ratio will be much higher even though you're skinny enough.

[@littlemschat1052]

But why do some people say the waist is at the belly button? My belly button is just above the lialac crest

[@fairtalks2043]

Belly button for male......above rib for female measurnment.

[@fairtalks2043]

Belly button for male and upper rib for female waist measurement.

[@mArt1And00m3r11339]

From what I've gathered though, for men, as long as your waist-to-hip ratio is less than 1, you would not be at high risk of getting medical problems.

[@kathleenl.a6414]

i'm biggest at the mid-point, i thought the hips were higher, i have a similar body type to the girl in the video in terms or born structure and she looks biggest where it showed at the mid-point i thought those bones sticking out were the hips, it looks more like you were measuring waist to butt ratio as opposed to waist to hip.

I am a retangle shape yet they tell you normal waist size is below 35 inches, so i am 30..but i have nearly the same hips 35 (well not huge diff) but my waist to hip ratio is high it said..at risk.I am also 56kg of mainly muscle..I just have a big waist i can't seem to get down..actually my body never had a indent at waist even as a small kid(always on the low weigh side)..So this waist to hip ratio will be low if i had big hips..not great for retangle shapes..0.8 i was..some site i put the calcs in and it came back aspear shaped and at risk.I said to my kids re this and they just all laughed and said''you are hardly pear shaped..more like a coffin..long banana..I am also 5 foot 6 at 56kg my bmi is 19.5 i checked that last week>SO what do I go by1.height to weight or2bmi.or3.or this waist to hip?

[@annabolika8919]

Nah, you're not at risk. My mother is also very skinny, but has a H-shape. All these measurements work for most people, but not for all.

[@artisticafflair408]

They are trying to do away with bmi's. You may he big boned naturally as well as naturally muscular, excluding being muscular from the gym. I struggle I am curvy but not because I eat like a pig, but because I have a slow metabolism. I struggle keeping weight off on 1,300 Cal's daily.

[@pippishortstocking7913]

I'm here because I'm confused where the correct place where waist to be measured is. Everywhere people put the tape around a different point on the midsection. I don't do yoga but know a woman who leads yoga classss. I think her advice to me is incorrect. Where she says to measure is too high to me. Then pictures you see all are different too. It's very confusing to me where to measure, which is correct.

[@ilyA7x]

why would you include the butt in the hip measurement?

[@anhthihoang2200]

Waist to hip ratio relies on the fat distribution around the body. It is considered that fat distributed around hip is better than fat distributed around waist. Thats why the smaller the ratio, the better because it means more fat is distributed around your hip instead of your waist, which is good.

[@shaymary5247]

I'm literally only 5'1" w a pear body shape. So, I have to be very careful as gaining weight is easier for me than losing it.

[@yiguy5ed6ugh8h7]

did she had bells palsy before?

[@KJB0001]

So what if someone has a large fatty butt, breasts, arms, thighs, and a small waist, comparatively - so lots of body fat but the ratio is .7
