Bust Waist Hips Calculator
Introduction
The Bust Waist Hips Calculator is a simple tool designed to measure your body proportions and calculate the Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR). These measurements are often used to assess body shape, fitness levels, and health risks. By entering your bust, waist, and hip measurements, you can instantly understand your body type, which is useful for fitness planning, fashion sizing, and health tracking.
Many health experts consider the Waist-to-Hip Ratio an important indicator of cardiovascular health. At the same time, knowing your bust, waist, and hips helps identify your body shape (pear, apple, hourglass, or rectangle).
Formula / How It Works
The calculator uses two main formulas:
- Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR):
WHR=Waist MeasurementHip Measurement\text{WHR} = \frac{\text{Waist Measurement}}{\text{Hip Measurement}}WHR=Hip MeasurementWaist Measurement
- Body Shape Identification:
- Hourglass → Bust ≈ Hips, with smaller waist
- Pear → Hips > Bust
- Apple → Waist > Hips
- Rectangle → Bust ≈ Waist ≈ Hips
For example:
- Bust: 90 cm, Waist: 65 cm, Hips: 95 cm
- WHR = 65 ÷ 95 = 0.68 (Healthy, Hourglass body type)

Examples
- Example 1: Bust 95 cm, Waist 70 cm, Hips 95 cm → WHR = 0.74 (Hourglass).
- Example 2: Bust 85 cm, Waist 75 cm, Hips 100 cm → WHR = 0.75 (Pear shape).
- Example 3: Bust 100 cm, Waist 90 cm, Hips 100 cm → WHR = 0.90 (Apple shape, higher health risk).
