Expert Tip

For men, a waist circumference > 102 cm (40 in) significantly increases metabolic risk regardless of BMI. Combine BMI with waist measurement for better risk assessment.

Calculation Methodology & Details

📐

Formula

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)² Waist risk (male): > 94 cm = increased, > 102 cm = substantially increased

Standard WHO BMI categories apply. Waist circumference adds an independent cardiovascular risk dimension specific to male body composition.
