    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist–hip_ratio

    The waist–hip ratio or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is the dimensionless ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. This is calculated as waist measurement divided by hip measurement (W ⁄ H). For example, a person with a 75 cm waist and 95 cm hips (or a 30-inch waist and 38-inch hips) has WHR of about 0.79.

    Waist circumference and height can be in any unit of length, as long as they both use the same one. [1] [3] Predictions of % total body fat and % visceral adipose tissue apply a different eccentricity equation using waist and hip circumferences, age, height, gender, ethnicity, and body weight as inputs. [1]

    How do I calculate my own BRI? BRI is calculated using a mathematical formula: 364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference in centimeters / 2π]2 / [0.5 × height in centimeters]2, according ...

    The BAI is calculated as: [2] Hip circumference (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = 0.602) and height (R = −0.524) are strongly correlated with percentage of body fat.. Comparing BAI with "gold standard" dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results, the correlation between DXA-derived percentage of adiposity and the BAI in a target population was R = 0.85, with a concordance of C_b = 0

    the ratio of hip circumference to shoulder circumference varies by biological sex: the average ratio for women is 1:1.03, for men it is 1:1.18. [9] legs (floor to crotch, which are typically three-and-a-half to four heads long; arms about three heads long; hands are as long as the face. [10]
