Frequently asked questions
What is a good waist-to-hip ratio?
The WHO links a ratio below 0.85 for women and below 0.90 for men with lower risk. It is one signal, not a diagnosis.
Why do my jeans fit at the waist but not the hips?
Your hip size is larger than your waist size. Buy for hips and take in the waist, or choose a curvy fit.
Do men need hip size?
Rarely. Men's trousers go by waist, but slim fits may feel tight if your hips are much larger than your waist.
