Waist to Height Ratio Fixed on the Weightloss Profile Calculator

For those of you waiting for me to fix the waist-to-height ratio calculation on the Weight Loss Profile Calculator... it's done!

Waist-to-Height Ratio (also known as Wt/Ht or WHtR or W/Ht) is very useful in predicting health problems from obesity.  Current studies show that for ideal weight-related health, you should keep your waist circumference less than 1/2 of your height while maintaining a healthy BMI range.

It sounds complicated, but it's easy to find out your ratio (and a bunch of other stuff) using my handy calculator.

I've been learning a lot about physiology, psychophysiology, fitness, and weight loss.  I'll be sure to let everyone know the helpful information I find, so you can get healthier and happier.  Sign up for the updates to get notified when these articles and tools are available.
