Last but not least, males tend to be taller than females. A waist to height ratio of 0.5 or higher means you may have increased health risks such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke.The most common way of measuring body fat percentage is to use a skinfold measurement, which uses special calipers to pinch the skin.
