WHtR questions
What is WHtR?
WHtR means waist-to-height ratio. Divide waist circumference in inches by height in inches.
What is the Army WHtR pass standard?
A recorded WHtR below 0.550 passes. The ratio is recorded to three decimals without rounding, so .549 passes and .550 fails.
Where should the waist be measured?
For the Army assessment, measure waist circumference at the navel, or belly button, in inches. Take three measurements and average them.
