Type: openEHR ARCHETYPE
Purpose: To record the ratio of the circumference of the waist to the circumference of the hips
The waist-hip ratio is a calculated ratio used as an indicator of general health and risk of developing serious health conditions.
Use: Use to record the ratio of the circumference of the waist to the circumference of the hips as an indicator of general health and risk of developing serious health conditions.
Use to enter the Waist-hip ratio either manually (ie calculated and directly entered by the clinician), or automatically (ie calculation and entry is done automatically by a software application, based on separate waist and hip circumference measurements).
Formulas: Waist-hip ration is usually calculated as waist measurement divided by hip measurement (W ÷ H).
Misuse: Not to be used to record the actual waist or hip circumference measurements. Use the appropriate run-time name constraints for the Circumference data element within OBSERVATION.body_segment for each measurement.
