Body shape is a fashion/aesthetic classification, not a health verdict — waist-hip ratio is the better health indicator. Estimates for informational purposes only — not medical advice.

Formula
WHR = waist / hip · shape classes use inch thresholds (e.g. hourglass: |bust − hips| small AND bust − waist ≥ 9 in)
Pro tips
- • Stand straight with arms at your side; keep the tape snug but not compressing.
- • Waist-hip ratio above 0.85 (women) or 0.90 (men) is associated with higher health risks (NIDDK/WHO).
