How to take waist and hip measurements

Hip measurement

  1. Identify the widest part of your buttocks.
  2. Wrap the measuring tape around your hips at this widest point, ensuring the tape is parallel to the floor and covers the fullest part of your buttocks without being tight.
  3. Record the measurement.

Waist measurement

  1. Stand upright, relax, and exhale. Locate the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above your belly button.
  2. Place a flexible tape measure around your waist at this point. Ensure the tape is snug but not compressing the skin.
  3. Record the measurement.

Use these measurements to calculate the waist-to-hip ratio by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement. This ratio is useful for assessing health risks associated with body fat distribution.
