Waist-to-hip ratio: It it better than BMI to measure weight?
Summary
Health experts advocate monitoring the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) as a crucial indicator of overall health. WHR, calculated by dividing waist circumference by hip circumference, offers insights into visceral fat distribution and associated health risks. The research underscores its importance in predicting conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A balanced ratio, typically lower for women (0.8) and men (0.9), indicates lower health risks. However, trends show a rise in WHR among Indians due to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy diets. Prioritizing regular exercise and balanced nutrition becomes imperative to maintain an optimal WHR and safeguard against potential health complications.
