Bel-Kalça Oranı Hesaplama (WHR)
Bel ve kalça çevrenizi girerek vücut şeklinizi ve sağlık riskinizi hesaplayın.
Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator determines body fat distribution patterns and cardiovascular disease risk by comparing waist and hip measurements.
What is Waist-to-Hip Ratio?
The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) measures the distribution of body fat, indicating whether fat is primarily stored around the abdomen (apple shape) or hips (pear shape).
WHR Calculation Formula
WHR = Waist Circumference (cm) ÷ Hip Circumference (cm)
Both measurements should be taken at the widest points while standing.
WHR Categories and Health Risks
| WHR Range | Category | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Men: <0.90 | Low Risk | Lowest cardiovascular risk |
| Men: 0.90-0.99 | Moderate Risk | Increased risk |
| Men: ≥1.0 | High Risk | Significantly increased risk |
| Women: <0.80 | Low Risk | Lowest cardiovascular risk |
| Women: 0.80-0.89 | Moderate Risk | Increased risk |
| Women: ≥0.90 | High Risk | Significantly increased risk |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is WHR important for health?
WHR indicates visceral fat distribution. Higher WHR (abdominal fat) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome risk.
How often should I measure WHR?
Measure WHR every 3-6 months as part of routine health monitoring, or when significant weight changes occur.
Can WHR change with weight loss?
Yes, targeted weight loss and exercise can improve WHR by reducing abdominal fat. Spot reduction is not possible, but overall fat loss helps.
Conclusion
The Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator provides important insights into body fat distribution and cardiovascular health risks.
