tool.whyImportant

Waist-to-height ratio is a simple yet powerful indicator of abdominal obesity, which is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature death.

tool.howToMeasure

Measure your waist at the narrowest point, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor and breathe normally while measuring.

tool.targetGoal

Keep your waist circumference to less than half your height. For a 6-foot (72 inch) person, that means a waist under 36 inches. For a 180cm person, keep it under 90cm.
