Answer

Answer key: Waist-to-Hip Ratio worksheet

1. Waist-to-hip ratio: 0.98
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{44 in}{45 in}$ $= 0.9778$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for men (0.90)
  $0.98 ≥ 0.9$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
2. Waist-to-hip ratio: 0.75
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{24 in}{32 in}$ $= 0.75$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $0.75 < 0.85$ $= Below the WHO screening cutoff$
3. Waist-to-hip ratio: 0.78
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{28 in}{36 in}$ $= 0.7778$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $0.78 < 0.85$ $= Below the WHO screening cutoff$
4. Waist-to-hip ratio: 1.06
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{38 in}{36 in}$ $= 1.0556$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for men (0.90)
  $1.06 ≥ 0.9$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
5. Waist-to-hip ratio: 1
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{32 in}{32 in}$ $= 1$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $1 ≥ 0.85$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
6. Waist-to-hip ratio: 0.53
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{80 cm}{150 cm}$ $= 0.5333$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $0.53 < 0.85$ $= Below the WHO screening cutoff$
7. Waist-to-hip ratio: 0.49
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{68 cm}{140 cm}$ $= 0.4857$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for men (0.90)
  $0.49 < 0.9$ $= Below the WHO screening cutoff$
8. Waist-to-hip ratio: 1.25
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{100 cm}{80 cm}$ $= 1.25$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $1.25 ≥ 0.85$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
9. Waist-to-hip ratio: 1.07
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{80 cm}{75 cm}$ $= 1.0667$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for men (0.90)
  $1.07 ≥ 0.9$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
10. Waist-to-hip ratio: 1.23
1. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Both use the same unit, so the units cancel out
  $\frac{32 in}{26 in}$ $= 1.2308$
2. Round to two decimals, since that's how the cutoffs are published, and compare with the WHO cutoff for women (0.85)
  $1.23 ≥ 0.85$ $= At or above the WHO screening cutoff$
