Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly should I measure my waist and hips?
Measure your waist at its narrowest point (usually just above the belly button) and your hips at the widest part of your buttocks.
Why is WHR a better indicator than BMI?
While BMI only looks at your total weight, WHR looks at where your fat is stored. Visceral fat (stored around the waist) is much more dangerous to cardiovascular health than subcutaneous fat (stored around the hips).
What does an 'Apple' body shape mean?
An 'Apple' shape means you carry more weight around your waistline rather than your hips. This fat distribution pattern is associated with higher risks of diabetes and heart disease.
