    yeah I'm not buying it...it says my ratio is .84...but come on! my waist is 28.5 and my hips are 34...that just means my waist isn't tiny...I still wear a size 2 jeans...so really? I'm at risk?

    It is a guide to assessing risk, not a definitive answer. Belly fat is associated with higher health risks and this ratio MAY indicate more belly fat. On the other hand, if you just happen to have a larger waist (that is not due to fat accumulatino there) and/or smaller hips, it is less meaningful.

    Exactly. It's sort of like the apple shape vs. pear shape argument. If you are apple shaped AND you have a lot of excess body weight, it is more likely to go around your organs and cause issues like hypertension, diabetes, ect. If someone has a .84 hip to waist ratio and has a low-normal body fat %, then it doesn't mean they are at risk. It just means if they were to become obese it could cause more problems than the person who has a .6 Hip to waist ratio.

    0.81 46 inch waist and 55 inch hips. Huge I know but at least my ratio isn't THAT bad.

    No full body pics but there are a couple from the waist up in my profile.

    Mine is 87 !!! I'm doomed!

    I have no hips or bum to speak of. I just go straight up and down with big boobs which I detest.

    My waist-to-hip ratio is 0.69. I have a 27' waist and 39' hips. I am 5'9'', so I am pretty happy with that.

    However, I would like to eventually get my body fat % down from the current 23% to just under 20% and so I am aiming for 26' waist and 37' hips.

    By the way, talking of waist measurements and especially in the light of much criticism about BMI, I recommend you try a waist-to-height measure which some say is a better proxy measure for a healthy weight than BMI.

    As abdominal fat is indeed of most concern when it comes to health risks, there might be some truth in it.

    Try that: http://www.shapefit.com/calculators/waist-to-height-ratio-calculator.html
