Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my hip circumference?
Stand with feet together, looking straight ahead. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your hips/buttocks, keeping it level. The tape should be snug but not compressing the skin. Measure in underwear or thin clothing.
What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?
WHO guidelines: Men should have WHR < 0.90 and women < 0.85. Higher ratios indicate central obesity and increased cardiovascular risk. A pear shape (lower WHR) is generally healthier than an apple shape.
