The Geometry of Cardiovascular Risk
Where you store fat is often more important than how much fat you have. The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)is a critical diagnostic measurement that identifies "central obesity." Fat stored around the midsection—visceral fat—is linked to significantly higher risks of chronic illness compared to fat stored on the hips or thighs.
The HQCalc WHR Engine utilizes World Health Organization (WHO) clinical thresholds to provide an instant risk assessment. By understanding your anatomical ratio, you can prioritize interventions that target metabolic health and visceral fat reduction.
