All my adult life I measured 5'3" until about the last 10 years when I measure somewhere around 5'2". I'm a little thick around the waist which seems to include some extra skin from a 115 pound weight loss but is not at all that hard fat that is said to be visceral fat. If I calculate my waist height ratio I just come under the wire into the healthy category. If I hadn't lost height I would do a bit better according to the chart. It is easy to take these metrics too seriously since they do not take into consideration individual variations. I cannot selectively focus reducing my waist measurement. My diet is pristine. What I try to do is eat right as best as I know how and ignore the metrics which are never perfect and sometimes positively misleading.
