What exactly is an InBody abdominal-obesity ratio of 0.81, and is it the reason weight is not decreasing?

This ratio is usually waist circumference divided by hip circumference, but check the device label and measurement conditions. A single 0.81 reading cannot establish why weight has stalled.

Abdominal-obesity ratio (WHR) is expressed as waist circumference divided by hip circumference. Confirm the InBody item name, measurement method, and conditions involving water, food, and activity; do not treat one number as total abdominal fat or overall weight-loss potential.

Korean medicine may discuss reduced digestion and energy as piheo (脾虛), heaviness or fluid retention as dam-eum (痰飮), and circulatory discomfort as eohyeol (瘀血). This interpretation does not settle a cause from the measurement alone or promise metabolic improvement.

Record waist and weight trends, diet, sleep, activity, abdominal discomfort, history, and medicines under similar conditions. If change is needed, adjust the plan with a clinician and symptoms rather than simply fasting more.
