Introduction: The waist-hip ratio (WHR), calculated with the division between waist and hip measurements, is considered an important tool for checking the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The measuring tape, regarded as the gold standard tool for assessing WHR, is accessible and easy to use. However, there are other tools capable of estimating WHR values, such as the InBody S10 bioimpedance analyzer. This study aimed to compare the WHR value estimated by the InBody S10 device with the values measured with the measuring tape. Methods: 98 healthy young subjects (23.9 ± 5.77 years, 68.9 ± 12.67 kg, 1.69 ± 0.1 cm) had their waist and hip measurements directly assed with a measuring tape and indirectly estimated by the InBody S10 device. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurements (SEM) were used to verify reliability. The Pearson correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman tests were applied to compare the evaluation methods. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The InBody S10 device showed low SEM levels (0.03). However, the InBody S10 significantly overestimated the WHR values (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the methods showed a low intra-class correlation between repetitions (ICC = 0.24) and a low correlation between them (r= 0.26). Conclusion: The InBody S10 device did not display valid values for estimating the waist-hip ratio. Therefore, it may not be accurate enough for this estimation in healthy young people.
