- Waist to Height ratio is: 0.57
A waist-to-height ratio under .50 is generally considered healthy. This ratio may give a more accurate assessment of health for people who are muscular or for women who have a "pear" rather then an "apple" body shape.
Be Careful: You have a thin shape and you may need to gain weight.
Healthy: You have a healthy shape!
Increased Risk: This measurement indicates a "pear" body shape. Excess fat is stored around the hips and thighs, which is less harmful to health than fat stored around the belly (an apple shape).
Take Action: This measurement indicates an "apple" body shape. Excess fat stored in the stomach area increases your risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

About Your Weight and Caloric Recommendations
Your current weight is higher than what's considered healthy. To prevent serious medical problems down the road, try to aim for a weight below 141 pounds. We know that losing weight takes time and a lot of effort. Try to set short-term goals such as losing 5 pounds at a time to help gain a sense of accomplishment as you aim for your weight goal.
To reach your weight goal — and your short-term weight loss goals — keep your daily caloric intake to about 1590 calories and combine this with regular exercise and physical activity. Once you reach your weight goal, you will need to recalculate your daily caloric intake.
Your healthy weight range is assessed using the body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-tallness formula. While these measurements do not give you a specific ideal weight, they do suggest an ideal weight range.
