Waist - to - hip ratio 

Picture
What is Waist - to - hip ratio?
Abdominal obesity is related to cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes.

Using the waist to hip ratio is one way of assessing your risk.

Measure your waist at the belly button, be sure to stand tall take a deep breath and exhale as if to relax. Read the measurement on the tape.
Next, measure the hips at the widest part of the buttocks.

Now, divide the waist by the hip and see where your number falls on the scale.
Picture
If most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips,
you're at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

This risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 
35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men.
