Updated Blog: Why Waist-to-Height Ratio Deserves More Credit

Blog: Waist to Height Ratio

We’ve updated one of our most popular blogs!

Body weight and BMI are widely used measures, but they don’t tell us where fat is stored. Fat stored around the middle can be particularly important when considering health risk.

Our updated blog explains what waist-to-height ratio is, why it can provide useful information alongside other measures, and how to work it out. It also covers the simple “string test”, which can help you check your waist-to-height ratio without needing to do any calculations.

The key message is easy to remember: try to keep your waist size to less than half your height.
