Understanding Health Metrics

Each health metric provides valuable information about your overall well-being. Here's what each metric tells you:

Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI is calculated using weight and height. It provides a general indication of whether you're underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

Formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m) × Height (m))

Body Fat Percentage

Body fat percentage measures the proportion of fat in your body. Higher percentages may indicate increased health risks.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio

This ratio helps assess visceral fat distribution, which is linked to metabolic health and cardiovascular risk.

Formula: Waist-to-Hip Ratio = Waist Circumference / Hip Circumference

Health Metric Reference Ranges
Metric	Healthy Range	Risk Range
BMI	18.5 - 24.9	<18.5 or >25
Body Fat % (Men)	8-19%	<8% or >19%
Body Fat % (Women)	21-33%	<21% or >33%
Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Men)	<0.9	>0.9
Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Women)	<0.8	>0.8

Interpreting Results

Understanding your health metrics is crucial for making informed decisions. Here's how to interpret the results:

BMI Interpretation

Your BMI falls into one of these categories:

Underweight: BMI < 18.5
Normal weight: BMI 18.5-24.9
Overweight: BMI 25-29.9
Obese: BMI ≥ 30

Body Fat Percentage Interpretation

Essential fat is necessary for bodily functions, while storage fat provides energy. The healthy range varies by gender and age.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio Interpretation

A higher waist-to-hip ratio may indicate increased abdominal fat, which is linked to higher health risks.

Remember that these metrics provide general guidance. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and medical evaluation.
