One such way to predict the risk of certain lifestyle diseases happens to be your waist-to-hip ratio. Also known as WHR, this ratio compares your waist measurement to your hip measurement.

Carrying too much weight around your hip may cause many health issues. So, it's usually advisable to opt for a healthy diet and lifestyle to manage weight. Nutritionist Pooja Malhotra shares a video on Instagram stating more information about the same.  

In the video, Pooja says that one easy indicator of your risk of catching lifestyle-related diseases is your waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). She also mentions in the caption, “Waist to hip ratio - is a reliable indicator of your risk of lifestyle-related diseases.”

So, Pooja suggests keeping your waistline trim and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to avoid any further health risks. She states you much keep a check on the calorie intake.
