Your Waist Measurement


Your Waist Measurement
Reveals Your Body Fat Risk

A simple way to assess your body fat risk is to take your waist measurement. Use a flexible tape to measure your waist at the point between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the hip bone.

A healthy waist measurement for women is below 80 cm and below 90 cm for men.

What's Your Waist Measurement?

Healthy

    Male: Less than 90 cm
    Female: Less than 80 cm

Moderate Risk

    Male: 90 - 102 cm
    Female: 80 - 87 cm

High Risk

    Male: Greater than 102 cm
    Female: Greater than 87 cm

Women have a higher than normal body fat risk if their measurement is above 87cm. If you are male your risk is high if your waist measurement is above 102cm.

Extra body fat around the abdomen sits very close to vital organs and creates more stress on the heart. It is vital to lose this belly fat.

Belly fat is strongly linked to elevated levels of insulin. It increases the serious risk of developing Insulin Resistance Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes.
