Does A waist to hip ratio shows the extra weight on your hips?

The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) measures the proportion of your waist circumference to your hip circumference, and it is often used to assess body fat distribution. A higher WHR indicates a greater concentration of weight around the waist compared to the hips, which can suggest a higher risk of health issues. While it doesn't directly measure extra weight on your hips, it provides insight into how weight is distributed in that area relative to the waist.
