Your Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) result does not increase your risk of obesity-related risk factors.
Maintaining your WHtR result in this range, along with a BMI within the normal range, is likely to reduce the risk of obesity-related health conditions. A good tip to remember is to aim to keep your waist circumference to less than half your height.

| < 0.4 | Take care (possibly underweight) |
| 0.4 to 0.49 | Okay |
