Why Your Waist-to-Hip Ratio Matters

Measuring WHR
Measuring WHR

At Slim Revolution, we believe your health and progress should be measured by more than just the number on a scale. That’s where WHR — Waist-to-Hip Ratio — comes in.

Your WHR isn’t just a number. It’s a powerful predictor of metabolic health, disease risk, and even the effectiveness of your fat loss journey.

📏 What is WHR?

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is the measurement of your waist divided by the measurement of your hips. It reflects where your body stores fat — which matters more than how much total fat you have.

Formula:

WHR = Waist Measurement ÷ Hip Measurement

For example:If your waist is 30 inches and your hips are 40 inches,your WHR = 30 ÷ 40 = 0.75

💡 Why WHR Is More Important Than BMI or Weight

Unlike BMI, which doesn’t account for muscle vs. fat or body shape, WHR gives us insight into fat distribution — especially around the abdomen, where visceral fat can increase the risk of:

  • Heart disease

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Hormonal imbalance

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Stroke

A lower WHR (more weight in the hips than the waist) is often associated with better metabolic health.
