Health
Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator
Divides your waist circumference by your hip circumference to gauge how body fat is distributed — a strong, simple predictor of cardiometabolic risk. A higher ratio indicates more abdominal ("apple-shaped") fat, which carries greater health risk than fat stored on the hips and thighs.
Fitness
BMI Calculator
Calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) — body weight in kg divided by height in metres squared — to screen for under/overweight categories. The most widely used population-level fitness and health risk metric, with known limitations for athletes and unusual body compositions.
