It's actually still useful. It doesn't function as well as a measure of fatness for you as an individual, but that was only ever a proxy anyway.

It still functions well as a measure of load on your circulatory system, joints, you name it.

Your body is working harder than a typical 6'2" person, even if you have a great waist-to-hip ratio.

(But you'd still be better off with a smaller WTH ratio!)
