Quizplus · Accepted Answer

WHR (waist-hip ratio) is a common measure to assist in the evaluation of body fat distribution. It is calculated by dividing the circumference of the waist by the circumference of the hip. A higher WHR indicates a more central or abdominal pattern of fat deposition, which is associated with increased health risks such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Height/weight charts and total body weight are not specific measures of body fat distribution, and total body water is not directly related to body fat distribution.
