Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Where do I measure waist and hips?

WHO protocol: waist midway between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone; hips around the widest part of the buttocks. Stand relaxed and breathe out.

Is waist-to-hip ratio better than BMI?

It predicts heart disease risk at least as well, because it captures where fat sits. Using both gives a fuller picture.
